The NHVR issues paper clearly outlines that current regulations do not take into account the nature of the agricultural fleet, nor the quick decisions farmers need to make when managing crops.

Therefore, the proposals do not go far enough to address this key problem with the existing regulations – the key dimensions remain largely unchanged.
