The RTO Regulations on construction and use also apply to "any vehicle on a road" - so lots of things on lighting, brakes, horns etc to trip people up as well.
Pity the section on Village Vehicles is so bare.
In summary, I think the RTO could catch you no matter what type of vehicle you try to introduce - even a bike with gears could be construed as being mechanically powered!Statistics: Posted by shapogung — Thu Jun 18, 2015 4:19 pm
