Using the grass verge because you are stuck in traffic? Am not sure about the legality of it, am guessing at the very best it would be a grey area, if not outright illegal. Much like using a bus lane or hard shoulder to get pass congestion However driving on a grass verge to get around traffic because of congestion does not come under the bracket of 'to start off on the responsible foot and respect the environment' OK using verge for short distance to get around an accident is a different thing to just using it to get 6 cars in front because of congestion. Using the verge as a traction aid because the road is a skid pan is also a different matter. For green laning in Wiltshire either give Bpman a shout or find your local 4x4/LR club. Brendan |

Thanks Brendan
I like your responsible answer. I was taught in the LRE day that Environment is one of the 3 important considerations, the other two being passengers & vehicle. Of course I want to get started on the right foot Clare

Only if you get seen?!
I'm near Marlborough and both live to lane (as well as living on a green lane!). Always planning the next trundle... JB @Lodelaner Instagram Youtube greenlaning and other LR related content |

Hi Clare
Next time I am out on the plains it will be a gentle trip as I will be doing some driver 'training'. More than happy if you want to join us
No date set yet but it will be a quite a few weeks as we have some serious off road work scheduled in the next 4/5 weeks.
