Hi, If you mean electric wheelchairs, these are noted on the page regarding Disabled Person's vehicles https://burningman.org/event/art-performance/mutant-vehicles/disabled-persons-vehicles/ The following vehicles do not require licensing to be used as Disabled Person’s Vehicles : Electric Wheelchai...

All,

The rules regarding Vehicle use at Burning man, especially Personal Transportation Vehicles (PTV) have been updated.

Please see:

All, Chef Juke from the Burning Man DMV Council here. I have a few thoughts and a question for everyone. First, we continually updating our website to try to make it as clear as we can both what the criteria is, and how we decide. Often the feedback that I see on public forums like this seems to ind...

why does anyone even respond beyond pasting the email address of the appropriate department? The same reason I don't email a department every time I have a question. There are a thousand people here who probably know almost as many answers as the folks behind dmv@, and your time is a lot less valua...

All, Some answers directly from us here at the DMV (because someone DID email us at the DMV...and when you have questions like this, you can too....uh, that's what we're here for folks!): The rules for what can drive at the event without a license are covered on the Burning Man Website here: http://...

All, Just a note: If folks are asking for official word regarding rules about a specific vehicle or vehicle type, please ask them to email dmv@burningman.org. While everyone means well and may have some information that is correct...or somewhat correct....the DMV should have the totally correct info...

All, It may be helpful to review this gallery of vehicle that were NOT invited to Burning Man by the DMV for the reasons listed in the captions for each image. Many are great 'Art Cars" but don't rise to the level of mutation that meets the current criteria for a Mutant Vehicle License. https://goo....

All, A few more points that may be of interest. The DMV has a challenging balancing act. But to be honest, we want what you want because...well, we ARE you. Folks who haven't been involved may not realize how many volunteers we have in the DMV (a few hundred folks have volunteered over the last few ...

All, To answer some of the questions posted here. The vast majority of the application process is the same. it's still a group of usually 15-25 DMV volunteers at each review session coming to consensus on whether and how well each application meets/exceeds the stated criteria. There are plenty of si...

Hi, Chef Juke from the DMV here. If you see a vehicle that is speeding, violating the Sound Policy or otherwise being operated in an unsafe manner, you can report it to the Rangers and/or DMV. While having the vehicle sticker number is helpful, we can work with a description of the vehicle. While th...

Hi Witchbrother,

I would check out the information on the DMV website here:

Bunny Mama, So, the first thing I would suggest to you (or ANYONE) when you have a question about the DMV and the licensing of Mutant Vehicles or Disabled Person's Vehicles is to... Email the DMV! dmv@burningman.com Yes, we actually answer our emails (and usually do so sooner than we catch eplaya po...

All, First and foremost, if you have ANY question about vehicles at the event, please feel free to email the DMV at dmv@burningman.com. Next, the main concern is with vehicles operating DURING the event. This does not include vehicles driving to camp from gate and FROM camp to gate when arriving at ...

All, As Trilobyte noted...if you have ANY negative interaction with a Mutant or Disability Vehicle at Burning Man, PLEASE report it to the Ranger and DMV. If possible, get the MV or DV License number (on the reflective sticker on the rear left bumper of the vehicle) to help in identifying The DMV ta...

Hi, Chiming in late on the topic, but it's one near and dear to my heart (as both a member of the Black Rock DMV Council and a person with a disabled placard). The DMV does license Vehicles for persons with disabilities. The general information is here: http://www.burningman.com/on_the_playa/playa_v...

All, Just a reminder that Mutant Vehicle Registration will close on May 15th, 2014 at Noon Pacific time. There is a limit to the number of Mutant Vehicles the DMV will invite, so it's better to get your application in earlier than wait to the last minute. Information and link to application forms he...

Registration for Mutant Vehicles is now open!

-Chef Juke for the DMV Hotties

Please note the new launch date for BRC Participation Forms (formerly called "questionnaires") for Burning Man 2014 is March 4 (previously scheduled for February 19). On March 4 you'll be able to access the appropriate forms (through your Burner Profile - http://profiles.burningman.com/) to apply fo...

Ever, First off, as always if you have questions regarding your Mutant Vehicle license, the rules, etc. you can email the DMV directly at dmv@burningman.com. Shambala is correct regarding the rules. No alcohol within the 'cab' if there is one, or arm's reach of the driver. You are allowed to serve a...

Hi, The following was a notice in the DMV SPARKPLUG Newsletter sent to all Mutant Vehicle Owners: BMAN REGIONAL VIDEO NETWORK WANTS TO GIFT YOU A DOCUMENTARY -------------------------------------------------------------- We are looking for a sound/art car interested in being the subject of a documen...

The Black Rock City DMV sent this announcement out to all 2013 MV Owners regarding Insurance questions: MUTANT VEHICLE INSURANCE ------------------------ We have received a number of inquiries regarding Insurance options for Mutant Vehicles. Mutant Vehicle owners may want to look for something calle...

'Need'? Not necessarily. The Black Rock City DMV doesn't have any requirements related to insurance, but a number of people who have non-street legal vehicles have asked about it so the DMV provided the information below related to insurance options in our newsletter. If you have questions about lia...

Figjam,

This is an example of a question that should be directed to [email protected]

No, there is no radical illumination or mutation/decoration requirement for disabled vehicles. Standard vehicle lighting is acceptable.

Sincerely,

-Chef Juke for the DMV Hotties & Council

Folks, We are getting close to heading back out to the playa. If you have any questions about your Mutant Vehicle, the DMV Licensing Process, problems, concerns, pretty much anything related to your vehicle, please email us at the DMV (dmv@burningmanc.com) directly. While we try to monitor this and ...

All, Some clarification. The statement regarding LEOs monitoring brake/tail lights of Mutant Vehicles at the event was actually incorrect in the Jack Rabbit Speaks. Vehicles ENTERING the event may be monitored for tail lights, etc. however Burning Man's agreement with the BLM has an exception for Mu...

Hi there, First off, as always, if you have specific questions regarding the DMV and what it's looking for in terms of licensing your vehicle, please feel free to email us at dmv@burningman.com Next, there are two fundamental requirements for mutant vehicle night illumination. 1) SAFETY 2) RADICAL I...

Gibson, As Trilobyte said, you really want to read the info on the Burning Man Website prior to applying. In addition, It's important to understand that as the DMV can only license about 1/2 of the vehicles that apply each year, you really want to have a clear idea and design plan well thought out b...
