Parades and DND and/or Unlicensed Vevicles
Recently in one of the threads about parades, there were comments about recent DND directives specifying that heritage type vehicles and perhaps newer ones could not carry people or be used outside CF Bases.
Is my understanding correct? Could someone please explain what these new DND/Government rules are?
Is there a directive about this that could be posted.
What DND has done might provide some guidance for the rest of us (or not) but at least it would give us something to think about when we assess our liability exposure.
One issue we don't understand is that there are some local owners who drive their unlicensed vehicles in parades. They claim they can do this because when a road is closed for a parade they can then drive on it without insurance or a licence. They float the vehicles to the parade.
We think that should there be an accident the drivers and not the owners would be hung out to dry.
Comments would be welcomed.
