Safety in the car

You will find this addressed throughout this guide for which I make no apology.

If you ever have the opportunity to see a slow motion replay of in-car footage from a car going through a high speed multiple rollover you will understand why as items as innocuous as pencils can become lethal missiles.

On road rallies and trials the danger is considerably lower as all the road laws must be complied with but that is no reason for complacency or poor planning just as it is not in day-to-day driving

Secure everything you reasonably can.

Stow equipment in it's place immediately it is no longer required.

Watch the driver if you need to make repairs etc and ensure he does the same.
