16 Accidents

16.1 Accidents

All accidents involving the solar car or a support vehicle must be reported to an event official immediately. Failure to do so may result in expulsion from the event. In the case of an accident involving personal injury and/or property damage, notification of the appropriate emergency personnel will have priority.

16.2 Re-Inspection

If a solar car is involved in an accident, it must be re-inspected by event officials. If the safety of any solar car is in question during the event or during the scrutineering process, an event official may require re-inspection prior to that vehicle’s resuming the event or resuming the scrutineering process.
