Jason,

Many thanks for the reply, it was most informative. Actually, to hear from someone 'on the spot' as it were is always a sight better than those of us who have never been to a rally.

I don't think any of us would suggest cutting down trees or erecting miles of barriers, but there has to be a safer way for the majority of people to spectate at rallies.

From what I have seen on the TV, the worst offenders are those on the Continent and to see footage of people dashing out of the way as the car comes over a ridge strikes me as plain foolishness.

As I said in the original comment, I am deeply concerned that at some time soon there is going to be a rally where those stupid enough to stand in dangerous places, will get run down and killed by a car.

Stay safe and thanks once again for your input, it is greatly appreciated.
