If you think that Bushwacker was being serious with that comment then you have problems.

[blackpoolsparks]

yeah, and i knew his brother - the lad that died wasnt doing anything illegal or being dft or silly - was just out for a LEGAL ride

i'm shocked that a respected member of this forum even thought about posting such a stupid comment weather in jest or not

Whatcha talking about Willis?

[greeley]

chill dude its just a bit of welsh humer thats gone down like a payed crack addict

haha,went a little far that dint it,may have to just think about what hes saying next time though

[BioHazard]

i think the only way to stop the idiots really is to educate them better

OR REPORT THEM TO THE POLICE WHEN ENCOUNTERED

i had no idea on the rules of greenlaning etc before i bought my truck, it was only after joining a few forums and reading up that i started learning more and more about it

Beware what is posted as a byway on a o/s map maybe restriced ....always check with the county councils Rights of way department if unsure ....
Some of the routes i do on the plain are posted as restricted or other but i have been told by the local CC that they are driveable

if the bobble hats and horsie types - along with ourselves made info more readily available and the rules of whats right and whats wrong brought into the driving test etc etc, then the hooligans may start understanding

They do not want us out there so for us to continue our right to drive these route we need to be correct in our access , We are lucky here as the local county council and the SPTA allow us good access any lanes that are under TRO are well posted but still subject to the idiots that remove the signs so always check your route .....

AAAAAArrgh, you said 'Crack addict'!!!!!

My uncle once knew a girl who's mother was mugged by a Crack addict.

How disdainful of you to bring that up.

[blackpoolsparks]

when most the laws that aply in the country was made
vehicles werent here so horse's will always win legaly

What are you on about?
I'm not talking about statutes and laws
I'm talking about my right in a vehicle as opposed to a pedestrian.
What law states access to the country is restricted to what mode of transportation you use to access it

either way its soemthing that shouldnt have been said really

i wasreplying more to the other comment about the lad that died as he knew his family - i also knew the other rider following thats now not got the use of both legs

anyway - not to get 'hung up' on those comments

why not look for more positive ways to move forward and make awareness of where to go and whats right n wrong more readily available

Most transgressions (such as driving off piste, driving on a closed lane etc) I'm sure are completely accidental. I've seen it happen, and early on in the hobby, I've done it myself - but you learn.

However, there is a tiny minority who, whether through ignorance or because they really dont give a sh1t, who have totally destroyed green lanes. One that still sticks in my mind is the grassy hill at the top of the Wayfarer where the 'visitors books' are. The legal lane runs about 20ft from the grassy area, and there's absolutely no need to drive on it, but the last time I drove the Wayfarer, it looked like it had been ploughed! Huge ruts and mud and sh1t everywhere. By the look of it, whoever it was had gone round and round, over and over just digging the ruts deeper til they were about 18" deep and you could see the gouges where diffs had been dragged through.

Wayfarer is a popular walking and cycling route too. I was sickened by what I saw, and felt as guilty as hell when passing others on that trail because they'd see me in my truck and assume it was 'the likes of me' who'd done it. Personally, I'd have no issue at all taking their reg and a photo, and handing it straight to plod - mainly cos its not legal to beat the living sh1t out of them and torch their trucks. The lanes will eventually be closed to all vehicles thanks to tw@ts like that.

Crack addict? I thought we were talking about something other than drugs...

i hear ya there mate

same applies to all areas of life tho..

i know some people who live ina quiet village, they think EVERY motorcyclist speeds and wheelies everywhere

a few thugs have tattoo's so 'posh' folks associate tattoo's with troubles etc etc

what i was saying was that yes, there is some tw@s out there, but also some innocent people (newbies) who will make mistakes - so if teh info waseasier to find and more informative then i'm sure more would respect the law and understand whats right and whats not to do

Remember that guy in the 2CV at Wayfarer who had a right go at me for moving over to let him pass. President of the local GLASS association I think.
lol
Thers the other extreme too I suppose.

[BUSHWHACKER]

............. mainly cos its not legal to beat the living sh1t out of them and torch their trucks. The lanes will eventually be closed to all vehicles thanks to tw@ts like that.

Thats exactly what needs to be done to keep the lanes open, you can't educate the brain dead, they only take notice if it affects their well being or pockets!

[Apache]

GLASS's aims are good enough, but boy are some of them full of the brown stuff!!

Remember the cr@p GWH got for daring to move two wrecked vehicles off the right of way at Strata Florida? Unbelievable!!

[BioHazard]

You would like the range wardens approach then


1st offence a warning

2nd offence a £30 fine

3rd offence is loss of vehicle (crushed) and up to a £30k fine
