totally agree however people getting on and off a trailer that is stopping and starting presents a lot more hazards then a truck so some measures may need to be put in place, i imagine if you had made an effort to make it safe they would be more inclined to turn a blind eye but if it is blatantly dangerous they would become liable if they didnt act.

Recently a young girl fell from the back of a ute and died, sometimes it is good to "let the PC plonkers control your life". If in doubt drive past a highway Patrol car with them on the trailer they might answer your question.

Are you referring to the girl that fell off her Dad's ute on a beach near Dargaville!
Trailer,ute, still Abel to fall off and die. Would be class as riding in a unsafe position.

Similar logic, but not the same.
I have a copy of the "Volunteer Helpers pack" from this afternoons Auckland Farmers Santa Parade. There are very clear rules outlining safety in and around vehicles and floats. As the largest Santa parade in NZ with a very good safety record, the guidelines allow for safe fun without the fun police ruining it for all.

Santa parades are a different kettle of fish.

The question that started the thread does not mention santa parade.

Actually this thread is about Santa Parades - read the OP's post at No.9.
Utes and/or trailers on farms, beaches, etc are a whole different subject that may beworthy of a thread of their own, start another thread if you care to but it is not what the OP was asking about.
