The amount of road traffic and related legislation is huge, and farmers often need to know more traffic law than most other road users because they operate a diverse range of vehicle types, which come under different legal groups. This book, part of the NFU guides series, covers enquiries into this area of the law. Ignorance of this law can result in large fines and loss of licence for both operator and driver. "Transport and the Farmer" covers the uses of vehicles for agricultural purposes which take place on public roads. Each category of vehicle is examined with reference to licensing and plating requirements, adherence to drivers' hours, tachograph rules, speed limits, endorsements and age limits. Farmers and their legal advisors should find this reference guide an invaluable source of information.
