Farm ATVs will remain farm ATVs


I have very interesting information for you. But first, a brief introduction. :) I have written several times about the use of ATVs (All-Terrain Vehicle) in agriculture. As you know, those machines are commonly used on farms. 


Some time ago, someone came up with an idea to include utility all terrain vehicles in the same regulations as the quad bikes used on public roads. Hmm... what a great idea :/ Fortunately, that's not going to happen. Recently deputies in Strasbourg decided that such a thing will not happen.



The inclusion of "farmer's quad bike" to a group of road vehicles would need to incur certain investments. Talking about the increased emissions standards and the obligation to install the ABS ... which in agricultural conditions is unnecessary. As a result, the cost of such agricultural quad is growing, and its purchase at some point it gets too costly.

More information in english you can fin at Farmers Guardian.
