Very old repeat that...

Yes the rules are stupid and complex, even the coppers do not know them because it is not something they deal with often (or even once a year). I have nothing fitted to the TL, including switches, except a brake light. This has never caused any problems, I went for a brake light for safety more than anything when taking it for a quick trundle along the public roads. All I do is pull the box connector out from the wiring and the light is disabled and ready for track use.
