They are not forced to pay for insurance, or pay tax while using the road, they don't wear seatbelts, and won't get stopped for not having a license or drinking or using a mobile.
Basically, it's a loophole in the law that was made years ago when there was less traffic on the road..
So if you were to get hit by one, good f***ing luck in getting them to pay out.

It's still a criminal offence to ride a horse on a road drunk iirc. Same with bikes.

On this subject, I've seen quite a few of them today, around Ellington and up towards red row.
