Mandatory headgear and safety training will become legal requirements to drive a quad - even on your farm - in a bid to reduce the number of serious injuries and fatalities connected to all-terrain vehicles.

The rules, which will come into effect from November 20, 2022, will apply to all quads used for work purposes.
