As far as I am aware, if the public have free access to a road, whether private or publicly owned the Road Traffic Acts apply. This also applies to pub/supermarket car parks etc unless access is controlled by a barrier or gate.
Been there with unadopted roads on an estate I lived on.... |
This is a true event that took place between my best friend and a Police Inspector about two years ago. Seeing a policeman in a stationery police car in a line of traffic outside his house while washing the car, drinking from a bottle, it was coke, he asked him if he knew it was an offence to do so. No it is not, was the reply. WELL I AM GOING TO REPORT YOU FOR NOT HAVING FULL CONTROL OF YOUR VEHICLE. Remember those words. He did report the policeman, and a lady inspector came to see him. I will not go into all the detail, but he was told that it was not an offence to have a drink from a bottle when stationery in a line of traffic. (Bullshine) When shown a report in a local paper where a person had been "done" for the same act, he was told that "there must have been other circumstances taken into account for that to happen. Yes. Right. What a load of rubbish. No wonder people do what they like.

Stationary you turn the engine off unless held up in traffic. Yes I know lots of Bus Drivers sit with the motor going, see it every day but its an offence. So chummies first mistake was not turning of the engine. Still reckon he should have got a boll---g and advice but its a discretion thing. Chris.S.
