Getting a quad road legal?

[Jay]

I have been meaning to get my quad registered for ages and looking forward to the winter and snow and pigeons needing shooting thought i better get on the case. My quad is a 300 fourtrak which they no longer make a light kit for. However I started looking into the road lighting act and legislation and basically narrowed it down to only needing a brake light. this due to it weighing not alot and not over a certain width (sounds strange but true) I have filled out a V55?? as much as I can and now need to send it off.

 

Does anyone know any info on this subject and weather I need to do anything else to get it registered?

 

Thanks for your help

the quad i had was a kawasaki klf300C and only had brake lights which then doubled up as side lights. register it as an agricultural vehicle!

I have a grizzly 450, its got headlights and a brake light as standard. I registered it as agri and got tax and insurance!! easy.

ring around and get insurance first before you get carried away as even if they are registered agri NFU insist they go on a normally policy up here now, so mine cost a lot of $$$$ to insure

if regesting/mot'ing it for daytime use only then a brake light and horn is required, mot for day and night, full lights, indicators, horn and mirrors, if ag reg'd full lights inc indicators and horn. all 3 need number plates at the back, full size

 

youre best bet will be to visit or ring fieldens near stowmarket Fieldens Ltd | ATVs

also with atv's i think the speed your restricted to is limited by your lighting set up, ie with only the factory set up you will be limited to something like 25kph

classification of the vehicle affects the max speed too
