These items are compulsory for Landy Rally entrants already as listed in the Rules & Regs page of www.landyrally.com, but I didn't know (a) you have to carry the waistcoasts IN the car rather than the boot (not that there's a boot in a 4x4) and (b) you have to physcially put on the waitcoast before stepping out of the vehicle.
Soddin’ bureaucracy again. Imagine a fat bloke trying to put on one of the flimsy florescent waistcoats in the driver’s seat before getting out of the motor? How ridiculous is that??? It's bad enough trying to don one of those things when you're out of the vehicle, never mind behind the wheel. BARMY!
