iris123 21,013 Posted July 14, 2016 even so this is typical of Poland and one thing it shows is how far stuck up our own backside with health and safety we are in Britain Why?Looks like the place was cordoned off to traffic,so down to the organiser to get in touch with the authorities.Doubt anyone in Britain has ever thought of doing it and doubt it would be H+S that turn it down.More to do with the amount of traffic and chaos caused.Fact is in a few places in Poland speedway is fairly important.Not sure you can say that about Britain.

A ORLOV 8,628 Posted July 14, 2016 even so this is typical of Poland and one thing it shows is how far stuck up our own backside with health and safety we are in Britain A couple of weeks ago we had an event around The Magic Roundabout, which is 1 large roundabout with 5 or 6 roundabouts around the outside of it, in Swindon where they shut the roundabout to traffic. I think it may have been car drifting, all I know was that there were lots of complaints because it was taking place very early in the morning which woke a lot of people up.

RobMcCaffery 2,752 Posted July 14, 2016 (edited) Yes, let's do away with H&S and all do-gooders. Let's let people die at work and let their kids ruin everyone else's peace so they can have their fun. Â There's a simple reason why this can happen in Poland but not here and it's got sod all to do with H&S - it's all about money.

But even if they did,so could you do that sort of thing in any country.Just turn up,stop the traffic and ride round for a minute then bugger off before the cops get there.Nothing to do with H+S.Just like kids used to ride round Mitcham Common on trials bikes.Was a fairly common(excuse the pun) problem near where i used to live......
