What should a driver do if their farm vehicle's safety equipment is broken?

When safety equipment on a farm vehicle is broken, the appropriate course of action is to repair or replace the safety equipment before driving. This choice emphasizes the importance of ensuring that all safety measures are functional to protect both the driver and other road users. Farm vehicles, like all vehicles, must adhere to safety regulations which are designed to minimize the risk of accidents and injuries. Operating a vehicle without working safety equipment can jeopardize the safety of the driver, passengers, and other road users.

Continuing to drive while taking precautions or removing the broken equipment poses significant risks. Without the necessary safety features, the vehicle's ability to function safely is compromised. Ignoring the issue unless pulled over puts additional drivers at risk and reflects a disregard for safety regulations that are in place for everyone’s protection. Overall, repairing or replacing faulty safety equipment is the most responsible and legally compliant action a driver can take.
