To whom does the regulation of using a dumper on a public highway apply?

The regulation of using a dumper on a public highway applies to all operators, regardless of age. This is because the safety and operational standards set forth for dumper use are designed to ensure public safety and compliance with road traffic laws. These regulations take into account the potential hazards posed by operating heavy machinery in public areas, which can affect everyone on the road, not just specific groups such as those under 21 or individuals transporting hazardous materials.

By applying to all operators, the regulations promote a uniform standard that ensures that anyone operating a forward tipping dumper has adequate training and follows safety protocols, thereby minimizing risks and enhancing overall roadway safety. This approach helps prevent accidents and ensures that all users of public highways are accounted for, creating a safer environment for both operators and the public.
