The vehicle may only be moved on public roads and paths by drivers having the
required and valid driver's license. Besides the valid driver's licence, the driver also
has to carry originals of the general type approval of the machine and the existing
and valid exceptional permit.
Safety vests, first aid kit and warning triangle have to be carried with at hand.
No people may ride on the platform in front of the driver's cabin.
The vehicle owner or his representative have to instruct each driver before begin-
ning a working period about his special obligation for safe driving of the vehicle.
The instructions given must be acknowledged by the drivers with their signature.
The vehicle owner must keep these acknowledgements for at least one year. A
form for these instructions is included in Chapter 9 (See Page 553). ROPA rec-
ommends copying this form before completing it.
As already mentioned, the regionally competent road traffic authorities may estab-
lish additional conditions or conditions deviating from the regulations listed. It is the
sole responsibility of the vehicle owner and the driver to gain knowledge of these
regulations and to comply with them.
If parts or functions of the vehicle whose condition or sequence has been pre-
scribed are subsequently modified, then the "General type approval" lapses and a
new "General type approval" must be applied for with the authorities in the country
of operation.
