5 Advice on the use of agricultural vehicles : Agriculture is one of Warwickshire s major industries and the use of public roads by agricultural machinery is a necessity for many in the industry. The road network across Warwickshire and West Mercia is of fundamental importance to this industry but farming activity can have a significant effect on the flow and appearance of our rural roads. As with other vehicles on the public highway all tractors and equipment should always be in a good state of repair and in a roadworthy condition. Each tractor or equipment must have the proper lighting to be driven on a public road and should be used in dusk or in times of poor visibility. When towing, make sure that the towing eye on the trailer is not excessively worn and that the tractor hitch lock is locked into place. Drivers of slow moving vehicles should always be aware of the build up of traffic behind them and, when convenient and safe, pull over to allow traffic to pass. This avoids motorists taking unnecessary risks. Drivers of these vehicles are also reminded that weight limits on roads also apply to agricultural vehicles, not just goods vehicles. Any operators of agricultural vehicles should be skilled and familiar with their vehicle. As with all other motor vehicles it is a criminal offence to use a mobile phone when behind the wheel of an agricultural vehicle. An agricultural vehicle can be used on more than one piece of land if it: is used only for agriculture, horticulture or forestry work is used on public roads only when passing between different areas of land occupied by the same person does not travel further than 1.5 kilometres on a public road when passing between two such areas and has a nil licence in force in respect An agricultural quadbicycle (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 are allowed to use an agricultural quad on the public road for short distances as long as it is registered for road use, has a number plate and complies with the relevant lighting and construction requirements.
