Roll Cage

[Silent]

Does anyone know the rules of having a roll cage in w.a?

Dunno what the exact rules are, but I've heard that full cages are illegal, but 1/2 or 3/4 cages CAN be approved for road use.

Whether or not that is true, the things they would look at when determining a cages legality is whether the cage will impede the occupants getting out of the car in an emergency. So intrusion bars incorporated into the roll cage are a definate no-no, and anything else that may block any part of the doorway. Another would be crash safety i.e. if can you smash your head on it in a collision? No worries on the race track when you're wearing a helmet, but on the road you'd be looking pretty worse for wear...

But remember the cops will use it as an excuse to canary you regardless of whether it's legal or not unless you have it fully engineered and documented as road legal.

I'm pretty sure 1/2 cages can be legal as long as your car is re-registered as a 2 seater - ie. no more back seat.

No , must be relicensed as a 2 seater.

If you get caught with the seat back in and the copper is a bit cluey , then it's yellow time..
