yes you're right, they banned it for health and safety reasons, something about chrome reflections blinding them.

You know that a chrome dash surround makes it illegal for you to carry any passengers at all... right?

I'm sure your rear passenger wont mind you using it (if you can find any nee press gang any), as it may offer some level of filtering to tone down the chrome! Either that or it'll protect them from the rust as it flakes off the chrome !! :twisted:

I think you may actually be ok mate.

When you drive, the deflector is folded up flush to the rear head rests, leving ample room for passengers.

Just thinking it's far better he has a wind deflector to play with rather than locking himself in a boot.
