The roof supports though get chopped out they'd be structural?

That's true. I'd imagine it'll start off with anything which looks modified (i.e. heavily slammed buses, anything with a roofchop, 10" wide rear tyres on a Ford Pop) and go from there.

I wonder if it will become one of these things that just can't be governed properly and as such most Mods just sail through ? until a road side VOSA check catches you out.

Probably - but do we really want people to start getting caught out with buses that are unusable? :) I think mine is within the 8 point rule, but there are plenty of buses out there which aren't.

Until somebody tells me I can't legally drive my bus I shall carry on.

Why not tell government how stupid their plans are before they tell you you can't drive your bus? :) It only takes 5 mins to fill in the consultation.
As I said above, I think mine is OK under the 8 point rule, but plenty of other buses won't be...

I think the first sign of this will be kit cars custom cars and the like
I don't know what will happen about Subaru engines though.

The rules are here: https://www.gov.uk/vehicle-registration/radically-altered-vehicles" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Pretty sure Subaru engines don't involve cutting the monocoque so a subaru engine (otherwise stock) bus would be fine :)

I think this will be it. I anticipate self certification and everyone ticks the 'compliant' box :D

The consultation suggests club certification would be the way to go.
But the DVLA have already had discussions with the Bugatti owners club which havn't gone too well...


For the 5 minutes it takes to complete the consultation, why not tell the government your views? :)
