Currently, the ADR's that cause the most problems are noise and emissions as these ADR's affect the soul and engine choice of a cobra respectively.

The remaining ADR's generally reflect safety standards and are not difficult to pass as our Cobra manufacturers have/should have done all the chassis tests etc etc already.

To me the real concern is that safety equipment such as ABS, traction control, stability control and air bags become incorporated into the ADR web.

However, competition in the market place sees such safety devices already incorporated into many new vehicles as standard equipment. For a mass car producer not to do so would equal losing market share to their competitors, who do include such things as standard equipment. As such, I don't really think there would be a strong political case to include such safety devices into ADR's as it's already happening.

Also, the fact that ICV's are produced in such small numbers may keep perceived changes to ADR's under the radar.

That said, all it takes is some pen pusher wanting to justify the existance of their job, to start stuffing it all up for ICV owners everywhere!
