Motor rallies & off-road driving
- Off-Tarmac motor sports in the Brecon Beacons. The Brecon Beacons
National Park has an informative leaflet (but this is not available online)
about this. It emphasises that "it is an offence under the Road Traffic Act
1988 section 34 (as amended) to ride or drive a mechanically propelled vehicle
without permission on common land, hill land, moorland, land not forming part
of a road (except for a distance of 15 yards, but then only to park), or on a
footpath, bridleway or restricted highway." You can only drive on public roads
and your vehicle must be taxed and insured. If in doubt, phone the National
Park 01874-624437.
