Late on Monday Evening the 11th March we received a number of enquires from people with 4×4’s offering their help in the snow and namely some through our Twitter feed in regards to specifically the stranded motorist’s situation on the A23 from Brighton to Crawley.
We were not involved with the situation on the A23 this time nor were we invited to provide assistance or support by our user groups on this occasion.
The people who were offering their help to us were made aware of our stance on the general public with 4×4’s helping on that evening.
That is in regards to the fact that a member of the general public:
- Would not be insured to carry out any volunteer work with their own vehicle
- Would not be insured against any liability from public, accident, or users
- Would not be insured if anything were to happen to there vehicle or another
- Would not be insured if a member of the public was injured during
- Would not necessarily have appropriate training of driving in adverse conditions
What we would say to those is if you wish to join us to help or a 4×4 Response group in your area in the future would be to please see > http://sussex4x4response.org.uk/how-to-join/
There is an email on the above link or you can direct any enquires to > https://www.facebook.com/sx4x4r
Many Thanks – The Sussex 4×4 Response Team
