Recital 8
(8) Agricultural vehicles with a maximum design speed exceeding 40 km/h are more and morein some instances being used to replace trucks in local transport activities. Their risk potential is comparable to that of trucks and therefore this vehicle category should bfor commercial road haulage purposes. It is important to ensure that where agricultural vehicles are used in this way, that they are treated in the same way as trucks regarding roadworthiness testing.

Recital 19
Recital 19
(19) Roadworthiness tests should cover all items relevant to the specific design, construction and equipment of the tested vehicle. These items should be updated to take account of evolving research and technical progress on vehicle safety. Substandard wheels, whereby wheels are fitted onto non-standard axles, should be treated as a critical safety item and should therefore be included in roadworthiness testing. Within these items and considering the current state of vehicle technology, modern electronic systems should be included in the list of items to be tested. To achieve a harmonisation of roadworthiness testing, testing methods should be provided for each of the test items.
