Why do safety briefings take so Fekkin long!!

[bridey0]

35 mins for a evening session of 3hrs.
Drives me nuts!

Health & Safety gone mad.
Never mind it will all be worth it once you get on track.

who's the t/day with?

The more people talk and d1ck about, the longer it takes.

It's a difficult one, particularly with a mixed ability/experience group. Whilst it won't help you this time, you could always offer them some feedback to help those following in your footsteps.

I was at a hillclimb intro day a few weeks ago with some very lengthy briefs on rules, vehicle standards etc, and whilst it was lengthy and I'd done much of this before, I still learned a few new things and was reminded of a few others I'd forgotten, so not a total waste of time.

Enjoy anyway!

Please pay attention at the back and get off the phone during the briefing!

Its msv at brands. Way too long

Hold on. If the rain makes things too tricky for you (why???), you may need the safety briefing to be even more extended and possibly a bit of tuition while you're at it

Does the briefing eat into the 3hrs - or is it briefing (however long) + 3 hrs?

Never underestimate the ability of a random group of people to contain some utter utter fkwits who will do something that grown up common sense should tell them is utterly stupid. They should not have the defence "but no-one told us not to".

Always remember, when you are sat in briefings. If you can’t spot the idiot then it’s probably you, so shut the FK up.

After 18 yrs of track days I still listen to the entire briefing -however once out on track it is apparent that some drivers attended a different briefing to me or were probably txting, posting, listening to iPod, deaf...
