"Question: Are the kerb riders legal? "

The other question you might have asked was, is kerb riding legal. The answer to that is : No.

So you aren't buying kerb riders at all, you are buying chassis protectors, something entirely different, even if they look the same.

:-)

(Using the kerb is an emergency procedure to enhance safety, the kerb is a 'hard' run off area and legally not part of the track.)

Regular use of the kerb indicates that you are not in control of your kart, therefore a danger to other drivers, and liable to a range of penalties at the CoC's discretion.

It used to be that this was widely ignored, as was contact driving, but certain clubs; Dunkeswell for one; have decided to penalise contact driving. One seen bump got a warning, the second seen bump got points on the licence and no-one tested the third seen bump scenario.

I have to say, Dunks needs to be applauded for taking the stand.


Will other clubs take a stand over deliberately driving off the track?
