Details

Use this form to justify why a ‘tilt report’ still applies to a bus or coach if its design is different to that report. A tilt report is a document that proves the vehicle will stay stable and not tip over when it reaches a set angle.

You need to do this when a vehicle differs from the original master tilt report, for example, it has a different air conditioning system on the roof.

If you think the change to the vehicle means the tilt report no longer applies, you need to apply for a new tilt test instead.
