@w3526602 Yeah I wish I could blag running one as an agricultural vehicle but it'll never wash with the cops if I get pulled over as I don't do a job in that industry and don't live on a farm.
Hi,
Agricultural Machines may only be used by people engaged in agriculture or forestry, and only in connection with those jobs. There are other constaints, too.
At the time I had my Quad, keeping horses was agriculture (following an appeal in 1981), but legislation has overtaken that.
You might get away with Section 7 Exemption (Google) Also exempt from VED and MOT, but road miles are/were limited to 7 miles per week, prom land you occupy to land you occupy. So not much use to most people. Er ... I managed to get a VW beach buggy registered as an Agricultural Machine, then claimed Section 7, insured it for £5 per year. But I doubt if I could do it now.
You could also try "pulling a life boat", or chopping the legs off your pet cat, register you Quad as an "Animal Ambulance". Next year, you could
" carry voters to the polls". Exempt vehicles are listed in "Vehicle Excise and Registration Act 1994" (VERA 1994) Google, then scroll to Shedule 2.
I did 2000 road miles in one year, wiped all tread of all four tyres, and it used as much petrol as my Land Rover.
