I'm fairly sure you are right on this as I managed to claim against a local farmer quite a few years ago when I ended up in the hedge.Originally Posted by moohatchi
[quote author=GixxerStu link=1358442047/14#14 date=1358948689]I'm not 100% on this. However, I read somewhere that the Farmer is liable for cleaning the road as it is his land that is on the road therefore, liable. Like I said not 100% sure on the exact ruling.... :
I was coming back home on my XT350 in the dark and the back started to slide which didn't alarm me too much until the front did the same and I ended up in the ditch. I knew who the farmer was and called him to tell him about the state of the road at which point he laughed. He stopped laughing when the police turned up and dragged him out of bed to clean it up after nearly putting their car in the ditch
The damage wasn't that much but as he thought it was so funny I claimed against him and got every single scratch fixed, new helmet, gloves, boots, jacket etc etc. That bit made me smile, a little bit!
