9.1.                                    Every 'Semi-trailer' must be provided with a continuous rear bumper which must be so constructed and located that:
9.1.1.                              with the vehicle unladen, the lower edge of the bumper bar across its width must not be more than 600 mm from the ground;
9.1.2.                              the bumper contact surface is located not more than 600 mm forward of the rear of the vehicle and is painted white;
9.1.3.                              the ends of the bumper extend to within 300 mm of each side of the vehicle, unless the rearmost point of the tyres is within 600 mm of the 'Rear End' of the vehicle, in which case the tyres must be considered as meeting the requirements over their width;
9.1.4.                              the member which is, or directly supports, the bumper contact surface is of material having no less strength than steel tubing of 100 mm outside diameter and 8 mm wall thickness; and
9.1.5.                              the structure supporting the member referred to in clause 9.1.4 can transmit no less force than that member can sustain, and provides a continuous force path to vehicle members of a strength consistent with the forces to be sustained.
9.2.                                    Clause 9.1 does not apply to 'Semi-trailers' so constructed that:
