Safety Belts

[db9go]

Do you have to use the safety belts when using a Gator or tractor on the road

I try to use a seat belt when driving a tractor on the road - especially considering todays driving standards. I always do in the Polaris.

A seatbelt is an item of safety equipment, therefore should be worn at all times when working, on the road or not.

I wouldn't wear a seat belt whilst cultivating ... that's more likely to give me back ache. I guess it's required by those who fall asleep and end up hitting pylons ....

If fitted, should be worn.

If it hasn't happened already, I expect anyone injured in a road accident in their tractor, gator, quad etc. will have their compensation reduced if they aren't wearing the correct safety equipment.

If stopped you could get a ticket. I put it on recently while cultivating some rough land and a actually felt better for not sliding about the seat
