What is the legality in the Uk regarding driving your car with no doors?

I know that vehicle have to be 'safe to pedestrians' but where would you stand if you wanted to drive around with no doors on your car? Or boot? Or bonnet?

There is no legislation which says a car has to have doors, it only states that if fitted, they must close properly and be able to be opened from the inside. Beach buggies, trikes and cars like Caterams don't have them, do they?

With regards to a bonnet, any moving or hot parts of the engine must be covered to prevent touching or entanglement.

You would get nicked for haveing an unsafe vehicle.

Under the Construction and Use Regulations, you would be committing an offence.

I think it must be ok. Years ago my car door fell off, on driving to a garage a police car stopped beside me at the traffic lights and they laughed and laughed. Then drove off.

I can imagine it's perfectly fine, but watch out for the idiots that want to chuck stuff at you as you go past!

You guys have many types of vehicles with no doors on them now so there should be no problem just remember to wear your seat belts but I would not drive a car without doors....
