Default Re: Pit Vehicle Charge Div.5

There have been some really nasty accidents in the last few years with people zooming around on pit vehicles, kids going all over the place at silly speeds, and whatnot.

A year ago one of our fellow racers was motoring along on a scooter when someone backed out of their pit without looking and he ended up going face first into the pavement. Lost a couple teeth, mangled their face and spent the evening in the ER (amazingly he went into the 3rd round the next day). And much worse has happened.

Insurance seems like a good idea, and if it costs $10/year to administer a program that insures people have it, and that people can be held accountable if stuff happens, that seems OK with me.
