Tractor towing law broken in Mendips for sprayer and trailer

A tractor driver in the Mendips was caught by police for towing a machine and a flatbed with a 4x4 on top yesterday (Tuesday).

The Avon and Somerset Police Roads Policing Unit shared their find on Twitter yesterday afternoon as a reminder to farmers to stick to the law.

A large tractor has a sprayer hitched to it - which itself is towing a triple axle flatbed trailer, complete with a Mitsubishi L200 aboard.

It's quite the procession.

Farming machines are only allowed to tow two trailers when they do not have a load, the road safety officer told the driver.
