No insurance for mowers
VEHICLES such as ride-on lawnmowers and mobility scooters will not require motor insurance in Britain under a Government plan to ignore an item of EU legislation.
Boris Johnson has previously described the extension of compulsory motor insurance to a wider range of vehicles on private land as “insane”.
The Vnuk law comes from a 2014 ruling by the European Court of Justice and is named after a Slovenian man knocked off his ladder by a tractor trailer on a farm.
Work to implement Vnuk in Britain has been ongoing for several years, including a public consultation in 2016, but no timetable had been set.
Brexit means Britain can now bypass the law.
