1. CONDITIONS OF PARTICIPATION

• Every participant in a driving safety course for lorry or bus drivers has to have a valid driving licence at the time of the event.
• Lorry or bus driving safety trainings on the Sachsenring are possible for groups only (8 to max. 10 people per group); participants have to use their own vehicles. Under winter conditions, all cars used for training purposes have to be equipped with winte tyres. Unfortunately we cannot provide rented vehicles for these trainings.
• Drivers may be accompanied by other persons. However, the Sachsenring Road Safety Centre will not tade out any accident insurance for passengers. During driving safety trainings, accompanying persons are not permitted to drive a vehicle themselves on the grounds of the Sachsenring Road Safety Centre.
• Orders given by the instructors of the Sachsenring Road Safety Centre have to be obeyed. Repeated gross violation of orders given by the instructors may lead to the exclusion of the respective person from further training. The excluded person will have no claim whatsoever to demand any reimbursement of the course fee. Moreover, the Sachsenring Road Safety Centre will also accept no liability for any resulting damage in such a case.
• The organiser or instructor can cancel, stop or postpone the training if
  • less than 8 participants have registered, or
  • the weather conditions do not permit the training without endangering the participants or the vehicles used, or
  • technical reasons make an unhindered training impossible.
• If the safety training is cancelled or postponed, participants may either ask for the refund of fees paid or choose an alternative date.
• The rules of the German Road Traffic Regulations (StVO) and the Regulations governing the suitability of vehicles for road traffic (StVZO) are in force everywhere on the grounds of the Sachsenring Road Safety Centre.

• Vehicles used in driving safety training that have a fully comprehensive insurance are generally covered by their existing insurance. Taking out an additional insurance that is valid just for the time of the training is not possible.
• Vehicles without fully comprehensive insurance are automatically covered up to a maximum of 12,500.00 Euro per vehicle as soon as the participation fee has been paid. In case of damage, however, an excess of 2,500.00 Euro per lorry or bus will have to be born by the driver or its company. The maximum amount covered can be extended to 35,000.00 Euro by paying an extra premium of 7.50 Euro per vehicle and day. The extra premium has to be paid on site on the day of the training and before the practical training commences. The excess mentioned above remains unchanged.
• The insurance does NOT cover:
  • returning to the starting line on the training tracks and the transition to other training tracks
• The instructor in charge has to be notified of any damage IMMEDIATELY, but not later than on the same day, after the end of the training.
