The court held that the unnamed road was either a 'road' within the meaning of MVI(TPR)O because it was accessible to the public or at least 'a class of the public' (golfers and driving-range users), and alternatively it was a 'private road' to which MVI(TPR)O applies; the light utility vehicle was a 'motor vehicle' under the Burns v Currell test because its habitual use on the island roads made road use a contemplated general use; therefore the appellant's conviction for using a motor vehicle without third party insurance was upheld.
