Rule Changes
After this accident, rules were changed so that mechanics no longer rode in the cars during the race. Barrett's untimely death must thus have saved many lives and injuries in motor racing. However the requirement for two seats in "sports car" racing classes was retained for many years to come.

Famous quotes containing the word rule:
“Here’s the rule for bargains: “Do other men, for they would do you.” That’s the true business precept.”
—Charles Dickens (1812–1870)
“Charity is a cop-out so traditionally female in its apparent self-effacement that there seems resonant comfort in it. We’re no longer supposed to serve the imaginations of men who have dominated us. We are to give up ourselves instead to those whose suffering is greater than our own. Looking down is just as distorting as looking up and as dangerous in perpetuating hierarchies.”
—Jane Rule (b. 1931)
