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.
Showmen's Engine used to be a catch-all.

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

Why?
Do you wear a hard *hat in your car?

No, I have crush zones (and lights).

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

You will often see farm vehicles and factory forklifts/cranes etc. on
the public highway. They are permitted subject to certain conditions.

Like all vehicles they are subject to the various Road Traffic Acts.

The conditions imposed by the various RTAs will apply, but not all aspects
are relevent to all vehicles.
