So let's play True and False to see if you know what needs to happen when you pilot an agricultural vehicle...
1. The agricultural vehicle is 3.2m wide and is 18m long, do you need a pilot vehicle?
2. A front pilot vehicle must be 1km (or more) in front of the agricultural vehicle?
3. The pilot vehicle must operate with their headlights or daytime running lights at all times?
Answers
