Road legal tank - is it possible

[billyo]

I was wondering if you could make a Tank legal to drive on the road. Would the MOT cover caterpiller tracks and lack of a windscreen etc...

Can the army use tanks on the road? What about a car with wheels at the front and cats at the back?

 

[lutonmatt]

can use a tank on the road as long as you have rubber tracks

look on ebay there are some on there well was last time i looked

and am 90% sure they dont have a mot and are tax free i think as most of the ones you buy are late 60/70 stuff

was looking into one for work but that was a few years back

Tanks for that mate! Does the tread have to be a certain depth? I guess they still need indicators and will they need to pass the emissions test?

 

[lutonmatt]

as long as they have rubber tread i dont thik there is a min deapth

but they dont have any lights as far as i know only the follow lights for when you are in convoy

sure there is a page out there somewere that will tell all

You'd never worry about having to give way to other people (including 4x4 drivers)

what about insurance ? imagine that youd have to do somthing to cover the damage you could do to other vehicles, houses, small villages ect.

parking in town may be an issue
as would the MPG figures.

 

[marti5]

MPG around an average of 8 gallons to the mile depending on what tank you have....

Haha I can't believe tanks are road legal

I'd say that pretty much covers any guys mid life crises for the next decade or 3
