Just seen this on a FB feed. I have no knowledge of its accuracy, however this would, if true, severely compromise LZIR.
“GUILT BY ASSOCIATION & SECTION 59 TICKETS
I’ve been meaning to write this since our Dales weekend. I was told a story by someone I trust and have seen further evidence that this is happening.
The story - a perfectly legal group was out for the day. The person at the back started messing around out of sight of the others. He got stuck. While they were annoyed with him they made the decision not to leave him there - mistake. The whole group got section 59 because of “guilt by association”
Whether this would stand up legally is irrelevant. There is no way to appeal a Section 59. If that vehicle is involved in anything else for a year, even if it’s been sold, it can be crushed.
It seems the police and rangers are tightening up on this.
So be aware, if you are out in one of my groups, and I suspect all our leaders, and do something like this you are on your own. If you are mobile you will be asked to leave the group. If you aren’t, well that’s not the rest of the groups problem.
Same goes for posts for help if you are not on a legal lane.”
