Can these vehicles (looks like some kind of cherry picker) be legally
driven on the public highway?

there are exemptions to usual vehicle rules for things like steam rollers,
road repair vehicles and the like so I expect it would come in that lot.


But surely they should have some safety gear on like a hard hat and
hi-vis, at least?

I'm more surprised that Google's facial recognition software has failed
to blur all 3 faces in that shot (the 2 on the blue device + the cab
driver). The blue device and its operators may have been dropped there
from a passing UFO (or off the back of a lorry). But for Google to go
wrong............

Do you wear a hard hat in your car?

Lights wouldn't really help in this case, it's daylight. A hard hat
may help if they fell off the platform
