John,
Also look at the portion defining automobile which indicates that at least
two wheels must be on the same axle. There is a statement that requires the
steering to be by the front wheels as our friends with the rear steer MR
found out a few years ago. Sorry I am unable to quote chapter and verse on
this one as my books are in my race day brief case.
