As noted in the Fest Event Rules posted in this forum, we plan to begin implementing a basic vehicle inspection for our Fest events. The goal is not to get carried away, but just to run through a simple checklist to ensure vehicles meet basic safety requirements, that a bare minimum of safety and recovery equipment is carried, and that the driver is properly licensed, the vehicle registered and insurance is carried. We've based our inspection list on the criteria used by the California Association of 4WD Clubs. The checklist items are listed below.
We hope that everyone will take this seriously and recognize that this process will help ensure their own safety as well as the safety of others at the event, and as a result will prepare their vehicles to pass the inspection. However, since this will be the first time for vehicle inspections we will exercise some judgment and may allow some exceptions for non-critical items the first time around only. The exception to this will be that we will require that all those leading or tailgunning a run pass the full vehicle inspection. By the time we get to BorregoFest in October expect that vehicles that don't pass will not be able to participate in the runs.
The items that we believe are critical are as follows. You will need to show us a valid driver's license, vehicle registration, and proof of insurance. We'll also be looking carefully at those inspection items that are important to ensure your vehicle is basically safe - good tires, seat belts, proper exhaust, properly installed batteries, and so forth. Finally, we'll be looking for good spare tires, tools to change tires and vehicle recovery points. We want to make sure you can make it through the run, and if there is a need we can get your vehicle unstuck. If you don't have a fire extinguisher, a recovery strap or a first aid kit, we highly recommend you get them. These are on everyone's list of basic wheeling equipment. But for SummerFest we'll let you go on these items with a warning so to speak.
We plan to perform inspections when you check in.
Thanks is advance for everyone's cooperation.
