Karen Walsh: Agricultural vehicles and road traffic offences: Know the rules

2016 brought new regulations for use of agricultural vehicles on Irish roads

A report from the Health and Safety Authority (HSA) showed that within the period of 2007-2016, over 48% of fatalities that occurred in the agricultural workplace involved incidents with agricultural vehicles or machinery, writes Karen Walsh.

Reports from the Garda Síochána also show that six people were killed in fatal collisions involving agricultural vehicles on public roads in 2016.
