Farm Vehicles: The Code of the Road Farming Note

The laws on farm vehicles can be a bit of a minefield and many farmers may not even realise that they are breaking them. 

Should I be using red or white diesel? Do I need a Driver CPC? The answers are all here in black and white along with notes on all the other key rules and regs to help you check that you are up to speed and on the right side of the law.

This 2-part Farming Note covers:

• Livestock hauling
• The Driver CPC qualification
• Dangerous goods
• Red or white diesel
• A crib sheet featuring 'are your vehicles fit for purpose?' and 'driving ages and licences'

Issued March 2014.
