/ Agricultural contractor Archibald Copland was cleared in Perth last week of allowing an overweight truck to be driven on the public road. The court ruled that Copland's Unimog was adapted for farm use, and was therefore regarded as a special machine under the 1989 Finance Act.
This means that only a excise licence is needed; that the vehicle can be driven by a holder of an ordinary driving licence; and that the vehicle is exempt from tachograph and weight restrictions.
