I would LOVE to be a Land rover experience driver / instructor.

If any Land Rover people out there want to employ me I am looking for a job :wink: CV on request :lol:

One thing a lot of 4x4 training places like to ignore, under the road traffic act it is a criminal offence to charge money for driving instruction of any kind on land that is public access.

That's me to the front of the queue :wink:

All that sort of stuff is done on private land, surely?

Yes, private land that is closed to the public.  I don't remeber the relevant law although it's recent but there was comment about it that basically you could be prosecuted for driving on private land which meant that racing drivers/stock car/banger/grasstrack had just become illegal.  The rider is that it has to be on private land that is restricted access, so you can be prosecuted fro driving like a t**t in the carpark at brands hatch, apparently, but not on the circuit :?

Anyone know for sure?

So that would mean that pay and play sites are illegal, or have I mis understood it?
