Division 8.2.2

United Kingdom

In the case of single or multiple axles where the distance between the tyres on adjacent axles exceeds 300 mm, the lower edge of the spray-suppression device fitted to the outer valance must have the following maximum dimensions and radii, starting from the centre of the wheel (Figures 6 and 7 of Annex VI):

(a)

Axles fitted with steered wheels or self-steering wheels:

from the front edge (towards the front of the vehicle) (tip C at 30°)
to the rear edge (towards the rear of the vehicle) (tip A at 100 mm)

R_v ≤ 1,05 R

(b)

Axles fitted with non-steered wheels:

from the front edge (tip C at 20°)
to the rear edge (tip A at 100 mm)

R_v ≤ 1,00 R

where

is the radius of tyre fitted to the vehicle;

R_v

the radial distance from the lowest edge of the outer valance to the centre of the wheel.
