Pay N Play under age

<< < (3/5) > >>

Bulli:
or in the case of houndkirk, you wheels! remember we are very visible out there!

Range Rover Blues:
Mike, whereabouts are you then? do we ever see you at the pub meet?

Eeyore:
Unfortunately I've got the relevant book packed away somewhere but I beleive the general rule of thumb is that if the public has access, then the rules of the road apply. Pay and play sites are open to the public, therefore in theory drivers need to be liscensed in tax and insured vehilces. For competitive events the rules are very different (hence kids racing go-karts, grass-trackers, triallers, bikes etc and having a ball doing so).

Campsites count as public places, so be carefull! They had big clamp downs at Billing and a lot of folk got caught out!

There may be some scope in seeking a local owner and negotiating private access to a site or field somewhere, but without the book I can't quote the relevant bits of ruling, so don't take it as gospel!

HTH

That is a grey area, if the private land/public access has only one entrance/exit then it isn't counted as a thoroughfare and different rules apply, weird but that's how it is.  Also if pay n play has an entrance fee, it's not public as such.

Anyway, I was wondering if any of the pay n play sited have under 17s driving and if so what the score is.

Toppa:
I have seen kids driving at Whaddon, which i think is wrong, all sort of implications arise if one of them run into you, and god forbid someone is hurt as a result, although it is a private site, im sure the old bill would have some serious things to say about it in case of injury...

I dont know how much the disclaimer would stand up in that case.

Maybe there should be some supervised underage event as some of these sites...

Cheers
