Bom dia.

As a uk citizen, do i need a licence to drive a tractor on private land,

Are ride on mowers  considered the same?

Thanks all

Bom dia @Normando,


You must have a tractor driving licence (category C). Find out more at a driving school near you:

Are you sure?   I thought if you had a vehicle, tractor, car, bus, moped etc. on private land and then it doesn't need a valid road test or insurance or the driver a driving licence for it to be driven/used. ?

Can't there be deaths from bad driving on private land?   Including the driver's own?

@JohnnyPT


Even on private land?

I still read that to apply to Public roads and roads accessed by the Public (Public roads on private land) but then I learnt to drive in the Sahara (truely)
