I agree 100 % (in theory) with the above members opinions. What I mean by 'in theory' is that safety , insurance and a level playing field with commercial operators should be enforced but I also see another tradition being eroded by government red tape. (Are we over governed?)
Another point - with the members opinions in mind you must then also agree that work on a car such as brakes, steering, suspension, etc. should be carried out by licenced qualified mechanics and not weekend warriors and their mates. True??
I read in one of the comments in my local paper that "we do it to cover registration and insurance costs" to which I replied that if you need to hire your car out to cover those costs maybe you can't actually afford said car.
Now all that being said, just inquiring, what's the difference legally of people having their vehicles used in say TV, ads or movies?
