Brickbat: Like a Good Neighbor

The European Union is
considering requiring those who mow their lawns with
a riding
lawnmower to have automobile insurance, even if the
lawnmower never leaves their property. A Slovenian man was injured
after the ladder he was standing on was hit by a trailer attached
to a tractor that was backing up.  That case is currently in
the European court system, but regulators say it shows the need for
compulsory insurance even on vehicles that aren’t operated on the
roads.
