IVA and reverse in a BEC

[anonymous-user]

Thinking of building a bike engined 7 type car, but what's the latest rules for a reverse gear as regards the IVA. Are the both the reversing box and electric reverse legal?

Book just says...

7. The vehicle must have an operational reverse gear which can be selected from the driving position. (see note 4)

Note 4: “Reverse Gear” A device used to propel the vehicle in a backwards direction under its own power, this does not have to be in the gearbox, it may be a separate component i.e. secondary gearbox / electric motor

I put one through a while ago(electric)that worked (just) on the flat. Tester was not fussed that it did not have the guts to pull the car back out of the brake test rollers.
