--- Quote from: "Terminus" ---You're basically correct if it has right of access to the public then it is covered by the road traffic act .. if it is private with no right of access then it's not.

A road or any place to which the public have a right of access.

You can be charged with driving on a place other than a public road - e.g through a town park or on a field to which the public have a right of access.

Quick scenario to maybe illustrate the point

Farmer bob says Joe *names are fictional no hate mails from everyone called joe or bob please  :lol:  * can go drive around one of his fields .... the field does however have a public right of way across it.

So joe goes out with his uninsured car and zooms around - lets mix it up a bit now - joe thinks its a nice hot sunny day and he's in a private field so hey a couple of beers won't hurt after all thats ok right?

Joe then spins about a bit more but fails to see the walkers out for a stroll and turns one of them into a garfield style bonnet ornament  :shock:

Is joe guilty of drink driving? and what about insurance? well joe unfortunately is driving a car on a road or other public place to which the public have a right of access so yes  he's guilty on both counts.

Sorry Joe I didn't make the law now I have to go tell mrs wilson that her son is several inches thinner and a good few inches wider.

Would you drive down a green lane without insurance - I doubt it because you know you need to be insured - it's the same basic principal.
