I am so tired of people banging on about their so called loss of freedoms just because it's illegal to do or watch dangerous acts of stupidity that cost the taxpayers billions in medical bills and on going care when the inevitable fatality or maiming happens. When you can pay your own life long medical bills, you can go train surfing or bungee jumping without the cord for all I care. I for one object to the 'I can do anything I want and everyone else has to pay' mentality...

daniel_rosie (OP) have you spoken to the police sergeant to see what is needed to bring this pad up to scratch to allow the activity or what the problem is with it?
possibly council as well.......if these requirements could be met (whatever they are) then there should be no problem apart from a few extra safety measures needed which would be outlined by council or Police. far better to have this activity under controlled conditions rather than a spur of the moment thing

Tex has surmised it perfectly. Things do and will go wrong, many of them are nothing more than wrong place at the wrong time. Bit like all the nanna's lately in Victoria ploughing through shop fronts.
If you want to to start banning risky behaviour lets start with a few activities; Sky diving Rock climbing Cycling Scuba diving Horse riding... Yeah, pretty silly isn't it? Freedom of choice is being eroded in Australia, we are being conditioned to having someone look after us just in case. Have a look at the many OH&S laws, they've been put into action to save idiots from themselves, well maybe they should be saved? Life must be pretty boring for those who don't take any risks. On the same subject, those non risk taker shouldn't dictate to others what 'their norm' is. |

Neither are burnouts unless they're on public roads.

Bottom line is you can either talk with the authorities etc to see how they want you to run it and cover your *** so everyone is happy. Or you can continue to do burnouts as you are knowing full right there are possible chances you could get in trouble. It may happen, it may not. Thats up to you guys.
The idea of a private burnout pad away from public roads is a top idea and more people should do it.

these work really well in the US but in Australia they aren't worth the paper they are written on the same as pre nups. I'\n Australia you can't sign away rights you are legally entitled to. sure they exist here but they are a bluff at best. if you had signed one then were injured it would be ignored in court if you (or your family if you were dead) were to sue

That's the whole point of this thread, it has well and truly established that burnouts are illegal unless they are carried out at a legally sanctioned event

To the OP.
Has the solicitor got back to you with an answer? I was just wondering what their interpretation of the whole matter was? |

The plan is to hear what they have to say first, and then talk about it to the sergeant of the local police about it and see how we can get around it. The owners probably should have sort after written legal advice first before putting the concrete down (because it cost a lot) but spoken advice from a lot of people including police officers said that it should be all good so they did it anyway. Not really in a rush because the paddocks are really wet so would be hard to take cars that aren't 4wds in there anyway. |

A "waiver" means didley squat when a life is damaged or lost, worksafe will have you in court for years as well as the family of a hurt person.As to whether you believe you are right or wrong, those years in court will potentially bankrupt you and force you to loose everything, even IF you are found not at fault. It seems we all have differing attitudes to risk.
