Road legal?

[kowalski655]

Hypothetical question as its too late to do anything about it now but are these things:

road legal?
I saw 2 being driven on public roads,presumably from 1 site to another,and no obvious number plates or any kind of lights. Driven by the guy standing in the bucket thing-brave man!
So....just wondering.

Without a numberplate, probably not.

They can't have been going far,they are REALLY slow.

Is it not like agricultural where they can be driven short distances without conforming to the road traffic act?

[anonymous-user]

No different from any other non-road legal plant I suppose, which from time to time has to be used on the road in the course of work or a job.

[Snowboy]

There are loads of exemptions for plant and agricultural machines to be driven between sites on roads over 'short' distances.

Unless the laws changed I think there's even a way for a 12 year old to drive a tractor between fields.

In a nutshell:
Authorised under The Road Vehicles(Authorisation of Special Types)(General)Order 2003
Notification of movement to Police.
