Becoming a lifetime member on here, allows you certain privileges/discounts from various organisations and shops/businesses, it also allows you to enter a few extra forum rooms, that can't be accessed without it......... the money that you pay to become a lifetime member also helps the club.

Unfortunately it doesn't make us immune to speeding fines, or any other fines for driving illegally..... It would be great if it did though.

As for byways etc....... others will answer with far more knowledge than I have, but if the law states that no-one can drive on it, then we can't either (lifetime members or not). If it is just mud and rough terrain stopping people driving on it, then a Paj will give it a go Laughing

but only if it is legal to do so.

Cheers for your advice, i think i need to pay a yearly sum to glass to be able to drive down them, or can you just drive down them,because they are called public byways..?

You need information from someone who knows a lot more about this than I do.

this what you need for your area. being a member of anything doesn't give you right to travel any where.

Glass, is a good orgnisation, that researches lanes byway etc etc, you need to check with the local authority 'rights of way office' if you're in doubt of any lane.

Minefield at the moment in the whole of the UK as to the use of many lanes!
