If I remember correctly on the wifes TGA superlight I removed a link

The only thing I wonder about that is whether there is a requirement
to have this operative if it being driven on the road. IIRC, one has
to have an orange flashing light on a pole for that?

My father's one, which is more like a golf buggy is a pavement type
and has a button operated horn but not a reversing beeper.

Quite the reverse sorry, it's only HGVs that are allowed/required to
have
reversing beepers for road use. Perhaps it's the pavement use that makes
it necessary or a selling point by the manufacturer.

My car has a reversing beeper and was made that way and so does the
replacement car I have coming next week. It is a big car but hardly an
HGV;-)

What is it pete, I'm sure I've heard of someone being done for having one
on an ordinary car, as being against construction & use regs.

I misunderstood the subject. My car beeps inside the car to let me
know if some cripple is behind me out of view in a wheel chair when I
am reversing. I usually ignore it anyhow in case it is MIL;-)

does it not work in the same way to warn you of low obstructions Ie wall,
post, Etc ---- or is it only for "some cripple"
