Yeap, any edge has to have a 10mm readius or something like that, so they would be bush-hosepipes.  Probably still work though :-k

Same goes for bullbars but it didn't stop them gettinng banned either.

Thing is I guess that a cheesewire could turn a surviveable accident into a decapitation, plus they are hard to see.

A friend of mind has some very neat bushwires with a clip hook on one end (like a mini winch hook) and a small turnbuckle on the other, so he can put them on for scratchy tracks or take them off for the drive home in about 2mins.

i got all the bits to make a set from b&q all for like £17 they work realy well when laning and you can just loosen the turn buckle and the mini d link and take them down easy. I will say if you do make a set yourself make sure you make a good strong anchor on the wing as they take a lot of stress

Surely if they're illegal on the road, they're illegal on the lanes too. 

Better be careful, Mr Plod is looking for any reason to 'do' us these days.
