Title: MLWR Safety Warning Triangles
Post by rosswood on 02/11/11 at 07:24:16

The MLWR Supp Regs state that "Each competing car MUST carry a minimum of 1 reflective triangle, a minimum size of 30 cm (12 inches - no flares allowed) and it must be stored safely within reach of either the driver or navigator while on route. If a competing team is stopped, they must place one triangle at the side of the road (on the same side as they are stopped) facing oncoming rally traffic, a sufficient distance from the stopped vehicle to give ample warning. Triangles will be checked at the start of the rally before the teams are given their routebooks. Teams may also be asked to show their triangle at any point during the event.

N.B. Failure to comply with the triangle rule will result in EXCLUSION from the event."

It is our intent to check for triangles on the route at an early checkpoint. No triangle, no continue.

Triangles are readily available at stores such as Canadian Tire, Princess Auto, NAPA etc.
