The tester probably advised on the roll bar in case it was later removed :mad: :mad:

A standard seat that adjusts does need to be capable of being moved. That is all. The book doesn't say to 2 or 3 or 23 positions. Just does it move back and forward. Whether that is manually or if electrically then by the electrical switch.

A fixed seat ie a bucket seat is acceptable and therefore doesn't need to move.

Do watch though from the end of this month the term of modified car is being defined in the manual. A rally/track day car with all sorts of mods will be fine. But just changing the steering wheel from airbag to none airbag will not be enough.

As a fairly new driver it amazes me how relaxed - relatively - the world of motoring is when compared to other avenues of rule-governed Britain is. Would be a shame to see laws change to make things otherwise.

Also makes it easy for people to nick the car. Happens a lot, make sure it's ultra secure.
