[QUOTE="Rowland, post: 5588610, member: 79664"] Spot on ! I hate to say this but I grew up starting on small tractors gently progressing to now using tractors either side of 200hp . This got me used to bigger tractors and machinery behind them. Weather or not it would be helpful to have a weight/hp limit for different ages up to 21 I don’t know. Would this stop younger people get work ? Maybe! The unfortunate truth is that the young lad in the news story has little or no excuses for what happened he and the family he so badly effected will have to live on with the consequences of his actions. The only mitigating point is that I believe is his inexperience due to his age . The owner of the tractor and of the trailer friends and possibly family should have advised against him taking the trailer out on the roads . I’ve broken plenty of rules over the years but with age comes caution . Laws are already in place for unsafe vehicles on the road just because a trailer passes a mot one day in week it could be totally different. Don’t know if it still happens but haulage companies used to have a set of Mot tyres for the trucks. [/QUOTE]
