Driving My Tractor (Singalong)

Product Information

Your examiner may have explained the specific details of any faults you made. How you can improve in this area It’s worth noting that the tractor driving test isn’t the same as the “Certificate of Competence” run by the NPTC. You should have driven at a speed appropriate for the road and traffic conditions, without holding up other road users.

Motor tricycles, quadricycles and 3 or 4-wheeled vehicles with an unladen weight no more than 550 kilograms An ‘agricultural trailer’ is a trailer used only for agriculture, horticulture or forestry. A trailer that is also used for other purposes can be used for agricultural purposes but would, from a regulatory perspective, not be considered an agricultural trailer. 2. Speed limits The majority of tractors may travel at up to 40 km/h (around 25 mph). However, some tractors built to higher specifications are permitted to be driven at up to 40 mph (around 65 km/h). The higher speed limit applies to tractors that have (among other requirements) all-wheel suspension, braking efficiency of 50%, pneumatic tyres, a speedometer and a horn. The exact requirements are contained in the Construction and Use Regulations 1986 (as amended).If your agricultural quad is capable of speeds exceeding 20mph then you are required to fit a speedometer and a horn.

A full list of the exemptions from Operator Licensing can be found in Schedule 3 of The Goods Vehicles (Licensing of Operators) Regulations 1995 (as amended). This book is brilliant. My 10 month old loves it and it has so much more opportunity to grow with her. If you are sure that the vehicle has been abandoned, you should report it to your local council. You should provide the council with any information you know about the vehicle, for example: An agricultural quadricycle (quad) is a light 4-wheeled vehicle intended for off-road use. It must be registered with DVLA as an agricultural vehicle and be used as a working vehicle for farming, forestry or similar purposes. You now require a category C1 driving licence to drive a mobile crane weighing between 3.5 and 7.5 tonnes. If the weight of the crane is over 7.5 tonnes then you will require a category C licence. Abandoned and nuisance vehiclesIt is a criminal offence to use a vehicle on a public road that is not registered with the DVLA or has a SORN. Tractors You needed to show you can use your vehicle’s mirrors to see what’s behind you. This should be done in good time, before appropriate situations. There are certain types of vehicle that are exempt from vehicle tax. If your vehicle is exempt, you will need to renew it each year. Vehicles exempt from tax

The age of the driver; they should have either a category F or category B licence, and if 16 with a category F, the above-mentioned restrictions apply. Other telehandlers, along with combine harvesters, crop sprayers and other agricultural machines fall into the wider definition of ‘agricultural motor vehicles’. This information sheet primarily concerns tractors as their use for a variety of different purposes creates the potential for most confusion on which regulations apply. Driving on provisional licences should only be for training purposes. Any requirement to drive a vehicle for business purposes should be done on a full licence only. If you or your business use agricultural vehicles, they may require a different licence and may even be exempt from vehicle tax. Vehicle driving licences are categorised by type of vehicle and also vary according to the weight of the vehicle. However, most agricultural tractors mounted on wheels can be driven on the public highway by anyone who has passed a car driving test. High speed tractors only have two machines that fall into this category: JCB Fastrac and Mercedes Unimog, where the Unimog is registered as a tractor. The Unimog can fall within various categories and the rules which apply differ depending on its functionality, its use and how it is taxed with DVLA.
