October News Brief

Halloween will be upon us soon. As each Halloween comes round, the choice of decorations appears to increase, with some supermarkets dedicating a whole aisle to spooky offerings. Especially if you have children, there is a desire to decorate the house appropriately. Tempting to add a few accessories to the car too ?

Boney
Spider
Corpse
Pumpkins
Sinclair C5
Bones

But, hold fire! There are numerous motoring laws that can be broken!

  • Vehicle in a dangerous condition – three points on your licence
  • Accident caused by obstruction of view – invalidate insurance
  • Changing the colour of the headlights, neon lights – £50 instant fine
  • Covering the number plate – fine up to £1000

Remember the Sinclair C5? Circa 1985. These are road legal electric “vehicles”, so can be driven on the roads at Halloween.  A minimum of 14 is required to legally drive the C5. But what about an older skeleton? The law mentions “anyone” over 14. Does that include skeletons ?


And is there a law about a skeleton not driving a SUV?
