Local papers, TOR perhaps? If so would it be legal for them to print pictures showing our number plates?
Whatever the outcome, no doubt it will only be one side of the story.
its slander (has fas has i know) unless he can prove that it is signed and you knew it
but if no signs then i wont worry to much i have done some bad things but no one got pics of me just mi plate and not much came of that other than a word from the local police thats all i got and they just said if you do it again i will have your liecence off you
and? not much to worry about its not like you do it every day or knowingly did it
you know you did wrong
you saw no sign
not your falt
it may look bad
but so dose that farmers incompitance for the law
it was in his hands to state the fact the road was privert
if lane info was freely available then this sort of situation would not happen.
if you have a bobble hat then you are free to roam. if you have wheels then you are ...................
That's the bit I couldn't figure out. Maybe none of them had a reverse gear?
Didn't you see the pictures???
The Landy with the roof rack on got stuck and they had to use a strap to support the tree branches.
As Gordon says, there was very little room to turn and 6 trucks doing a 3 pointer in the guys back garden would have only escalated the situation.
We opted for what we thought was the quickest way to exit the guys land with the leat possible disruption and damage.
Remember we were trying to make the best of an unfortunate situation. It's all very well offering advice after the fact but going back down the original route would have created even more problems.
not all of us would have made it back through as the 110 was getting stuck under the branches and the discovery got a bit of a fright as nearly didnt make it through the first time.
Anyway, we would of been much more nuisance doing 3 point turns in his garden than just a quick left on to the paved road, past his house and away.
Should have just offered him money to use his road, a sort of toll. I've yet to meet a farmer who will turn down a dollar or two, especially a Yorkshire man
£20 each and I'll bet he would jump at it and tell you some better lanes.
