A motor vehicle shall
not be equipped with —
(a) an
object or fitting, not technically essential to the vehicle, that protrudes
from any part of the vehicle in a manner likely to increase the risk of bodily
injury to a person;
(b) an
object or fitting technically essential to the vehicle unless its design,
construction and condition and the manner in which it is fitted to the vehicle
are such as to reduce to a minimum the risk of bodily injury to a person;
(c) an
object or fitting which, because of its pointed nature or sharp edge, is
likely to increase the risk of bodily injury to a person;
(d) a
door handle which is likely to hook or catch onto a person or object; or
