    I agree. A spare wheel coming loose in case of a crash is not very safe... They apparently need money...

    How on earth is not having side mirrors a serious safety issue? The only time they are of use is when the car is clean, before the loop of stages. Plus the amount of time they get knocked off in stage, it really is being blown out of proportion. A fine is certainly reasonable, if a bit over the top really.

    Because it is precondition for accidents. If he is being overtaken by another car, they might crash together. Of course crash damage level can vary, but it is still a crash.

    The cars go many kilometers in normal road traffic. For that reason they must be road legal. Have You ever tried to drive few kilometers in the traffic without mirrors? Come on, that's totally not safe. Besides that it's clearly written in the rules that they must have them.

    I'm already have. And I always stuck in the payment methods because I don't have a credit card nor a PayPal..

    So far, my only free month experience was end of 2015 season free pass..

    Yes I have, one of my rally cars doesn't have side mirrors as I keep knocking them off. And as I do compete in rallies as well as do accident investigation and scrutineering as a volunteer for motorsport on occasion, I do have some idea of what a serious safety issue is, and that's definitely not. If they hadn't tied the spare wheel down, that's a serious safety issue. Side mirrors aren't, so I believe a fine is reasonable in this situation.
