You are correct and there will be much the same legislation in place world wide but this requires interpretation.
The latest breed of children have been living in a culture of non responsability for their actions, as soon as an accident happens they run to their lawyers and try to blame anyone apart from themselfs, this is why they know the regulations & SOP's right down to the smallest detail because that way they think they can keep themselfs safe from the authority's. In the legislation you link to it says nothing about crossbleed starts, so in the logic of these people it is not prohibited and so not wreckless, this would be their defense in court.
The problems are that actions may be legal but they are not wise, and in some situations the wise action may not entirely be in compliance with all the rules, unfortunately with the current fashion for rushing to the court room as soon as anything goes wrong we have produced a generaton of people who only see life from a leagal point of view and use this to protect themselfs from their own stupid actions.
That is why when you buy a packet of peanuts it has a warning on the packet telling you that the product contains nuts............... It is the manufacturs protecting themselfs from those devoid of common sence but with access to a lawyer.
