I figure that if I can show that I took reasonable precaution in a court of law then it should be sweet. I think if I explained all the steps I took it would be considered as reasonable precaution. If what I did would be considered reckless then wouldn't that call into question operating any sort of watercraft at night? The yachties won't be happy.
Still in denial eh, Greeny? I wouldnt worry too much about the insurance thing - its the least of your problems. I can assure you they wont be paying out any claims you make from any night kiting nightmares. Just accept it you'll have no PL insurance ok?
Your main problem is convcining the Councils to let you do it on their turf. As you can tell by the Topic heading I am against it because its extremely dangerous. This extreme danger cannot be mitigated by the addition of mere "glow sticks". Only a controlled area free of other watercraft and well lit by floodlights could satisfactorily reduce the danger.
BTW, "reasonable" is not what you think is "reasonable". "reasonable" is what the Court thinks is reasonable. Believe me mate, they aint gonna see it your way.
You live in such a fantasy about the law & legal process, pal. Maybe you've been watching too much "Law and Order" on TV. You need to watch a little more "Judge Judy" - maybe that'll wake you up a bit. Ask yourself, "Would Judge Judy think this is reasonable?".
The prosecution rests.
