Anyone Can Drive On Private Land.

[AlexOC]

I'm sure alot of you will know this, i was just reading how..

Anyone under 17 and without a driving license can drive a vechile on private land. But it must be fenced off and not connected to a public highway, And the owner of the land has to give you consent. :/

I might try go out and try it on the weekend, im only 14, but i'm sure my mum would let me take her car out on a field :eusa_whis

Well it kinda speaks for itself. Its your land you can do what you want.

Yeh i know its been a rule for ages, i just kinda think its a bit dodgy, that anyone can get behind a wheel, theres no rule on speed limit, if you have bad eyesight, going up ramps, its like private land is completely immune from any law.

because you own the land D

and yeh i think i knew about this. But youd need to be pretty rich to make use of this law

Yeh you'd need big money for a big private field.

Do you need to wear seat belts?

And i suppose you don't need tax or an MOT either, because you can hold a non-MOT/TAXed car on your own land.

its not pointless, its very obvious you can drive on private land at any age.

no, you dont need to wear seatbelts but you wont be going to do anything dangerous on private land unless youre an idiot and go all over the place. no mot/tax needed as again its private land and the car can be declared as s.o.r.n because again its private land.

You don't have to own it. I could of driven in my local churchs drive way, because that's private land and the registered owner happens to be my nan If you know someone with a field or just enough land, you can go crazy (provided you get the permission). Heck, in TopGear that's private land, and they get celebs on who can't drive.

Won't be insured though for any damage to the cars or the land and things on it, it may also render your health insurance useless if you're lucky enough to have some.
