Do I need special equipment, like a roll cage or 4-point harness? PDF Print E-mail

The vehicle manufacturer's DOT-approved lap and shoulder belts (commonly referred to as a 3-point restraint system) are required for both the driver and passenger (instructor).  Open-top vehicles must have rollover protection. This level of protection is standard in modern vehicles.  No additional equipment is required.

Since this is NOT a racing school, the use of 4-point or 5-point supplemental restraint systems is not recommended.  Supplemental restraint systems will be permitted only if the vehicle is also equipped with an SCCA-compliant full roll cage. Supplemental restraint systems will be permitted only if the instructor is offered equal supplemental restraints.  Supplemental restraint systems will be permitted only if both student and instructor are using Snell Competitive Automotive Sport (SA) rated helmets. [Note that this exceeds the school standard of motorcycle (M) rated helmets and this level of investment is not expected of any instructor.] Pursuant to all of the above conditions being met, any use of supplemental restraint systems will be at the sole discretion of the instructor.
