OffAim Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 (edited) As an associate of mine once said "Crumbs!" Apparently we have another person who can write but is unable to read. The law is posted above in black and white. Go and look it up yourself if you don`t believe me. Article 161 of the Highways act 1980. Section 161...........and try reading Post No.20........you will read (yes, read) I agreed with exactly what you said in Post No.4.

Fair enough, but that`s not what you said last night. It is 50 feet from the centreline of a carriageway, provided that you don't eff up or injure a person's progress along the carriageway.

Scully Posted March 5, 2016 Report Share Posted March 5, 2016 It's just as well they aren't enforced as rigorously as they could be; but I dont find it annoying when I'm constantly being hindered on the highway by local kids and their footballs. I do find it annoying though listening to all the clods of muck etc left by farm vehicles on the highway clattering against my under seal.

lakeside1000 Posted March 5, 2016 Report Share Posted March 5, 2016 A few years ago we lived in a very rural area of Lincolnshire, my wife kept several horses in a paddock at the end of the garden, early one morning we were alarmed to hear shots fired outside on the lane at the side of our house, the horses went berserk charging around the paddock, we ran out to see what was happening, the neighbour ( his Lordship ) was having a pheasant shoot on the adjacent field, the guns had lined up along the road side and the driven birds were coming across the lane straight over our house and land, the guns were turning and shooting at them as they went over, several dropped in our paddock and they were sending dogs in to collect them, my wife went mad at them and after giving them an earful rang the local plod, who said there was nothing they could do unless one of the horses was actually shot, The neighbour was head of the local council, and a member of the aristocracy, no wonder the plod didn't want to get involved.Still after the wife ripped into them they moved off up the lane to a different spot, flaming liberty.

In theory u could actually of done them with theft for taking pheasants of UR ground, pheasants and deer belong to whoevers ground they die on not where shot. Or u could have got ur gun out the cabinet and joined them in the line on ur ground and shot any pheasants flying overhead. Actually know someone that done that, neighbouring shoot often stood 1 or 2 guns on his land without asking, he had told them often enough so 1 day went down and just stood beside a paying gun and shot birds before he had a chance. Never stood guns in his field again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shot the monthly shoot at the Wagon and Horses near Congleton today. Lovely little informal shoot, VERY near the A34. The first stand can't be much more than 50 yards from the centre line. The biggest problem is wind shift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stoxs Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 sooooooooooooo 50 ft from center(centre) of a road. a single track road would be not alot more than 10ft wide so i would have to be 45ft from edge of road to comply with this rule. The 4 lanes and hard shoulder of the M25 must nearly be 50ft from the center(centre)to the edge of road. So i could comply by shooting at the edge of the M25 but 45ft from a quiet country road!! mmmmmmmmmmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
