    Report summary

    Colin George Wellings was riding a domestically constructed three-wheeled motorised trike when he lost control entering a mini island, was thrown from it and died at the scene from serious head and other injuries. The concerns were that this class of vehicle was exempt from seatbelt and helmet requirements and that legislation should be considered to bring such vehicles in line with other mainstream mechanically propelled vehicles.

    PFD Monitor interpretation

    Lack of a legal requirement for riders of this class of vehicle to wear seatbelts

    Wider context from the report

    “(1) The machine that the deceased was riding was a domestically manufactured machine with a 3.5 litre engine registered in 1973 and as such was exempt from the requirement for the driver/rider to wear either a seatbelt or a protective helmet. (2) Given the inherent risk that this vehicle, and others like it, pose, not only to their riders, but to other road users, consideration should be given to legislation to ensure that this class of vehicle is brought in line with other mainstream mechanically propelled vehicles by amendment to the Road Traffic Act and the Construction and Use Regulations. ”
