Bus Safety rules
- The Derby Officials will inspect all school
busses for safety hazards. PLEASE contact us with your ideas, questions or
concerns well prior to the event.
- The rear frame must be cut bluntly 4 feet from
the rear bumper to eliminate the possibility of impaling other drivers on
the exposed frame.
- Bars or other substantial reinforcement must be
installed in front of the driver to prevent the steering column from being
forced down or back into the driver's lap. Steering wheel displacement has caused several
drivers to have grave concerns about their personal safety and future
family life.
- It is strongly advised that the bumper be cut or
modified to protect the steering box.
- Several buses have had a failure of the entire
roof structure. A pipe frame over the driver is suggested but not
required.
- Common sense applies- Driver must wear a
helmet, and other personal protection is strongly advised. NO RIDERS. Fuel
tanks, batteries, etc. must be secured safely inside the bus. Original
equipment tanks should be removed or otherwise modified to prevent
explosion. All glass and any pointy objects must be removed from the
driver area. Parts that may fall off and be a danger to the event are to
be removed or secured in a sensible manner. The Fair reserves the right to
request modifications for the safety of drivers, other participants or
spectators. Please contact the fair office for detailed safety
information.
- All Fair Derby rules of conduct, behavior and
safety will apply. The Fair Event Judges reserve the right to "disqualify"
any bus for safety reasons should they feel that continued operation may
endanger spectator or participant safety.
