Verkehrssicherheitszentrum Sachsenring - in Zusammenarbeit mit dem ADAC-Sachsen

1. CONDITIONS OF PARTICIPATIONS

Every participant in a driving safety course on the Sachsenring has to have a valid driving licence.
Participants use their own car in driving safety training. Under winter conditions, all cars used for training purposes have to be equipped with winter tyres. If desired, we will be pleased to organise rental cars for you at the current rates.
Each driver may be accompanied by one person. Children below the age of 12 may definitely not be in the car during training. The Sachsenring Road Safety Centre will not take out any accident insurance for passengers. During driving safety training, accompanying persons are not permitted to drive a car themselves on the grounds of the Sachsenring Road Safety Centre. Only participants of a driving training course may be present at the theory seminar. Please, DO NOT bring any pets to the driving safety training.
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. Moreover, the excluded person will have no claim whatsoever to demand any reimbursement of the course fee. In such a situation the Sachsenring Road Safety Centre will also accept no liability for any resulting damage.
The organiser or instructor can cancel, stop or postpone the training if
- less than 8 participants have been registered, or
- the weather conditions do not permit the training without endangering the participants or the cars used, or
- technical reasons make an unhindered training impossible.
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.

2. CONDITIONS OF INSURANCE

Cars used in driving safety training that have a fully comprehensive insurance are generally covered by their existing insurance.
Cars without fully comprehensive insurance are automatically covered up to a maximum of 12,500.00 € per car as soon as the participation fee has been paid. In case of damage, however, an excess of 500.00 € per car will have to be born by the driver.
The maximum amount covered can be extended to 35,000.00 € by paying an extra premium of 7.50 € per car 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 of 500.00 € remains unchanged.

- Motorcycle training and motorcycle racetrack training

drift training (using the Centre’s drift-BMWs)
If the racing circuits of the Sachsenring Road Safety Centre are used outside the periods of safety trainings, no liability will be accepted.
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.
On the day of the training, the instructor in charge will explain the conditions of insurance one more time in the course of the theoretical introduction (i.e. before the practical part). Any questions that may not have been answered yet, can be asked right then.
