Default Well done you ( and Shaun ...)

Business opportunity there Shaun, methinks.

I did once toy with the idea of this license, but one of the many endearing features of my Sno-Cat is that it has no footbrake at all, just a simple transmission handbrake, so I don't see that I'd want to drive it on the road even if I had a license. I should probably note that the rolling resistance of the four tracks is such that you stop almost instantly you take your foot off the loud pedal, and even faster than that in deep snow I should think.

My Iron Fireman T-36 has two steering brakes which double as handbrakes and would be marginally more amenable to to road use, but that's 15mph flat out so I think a transporter would still be the preferred option.

Both types have suspension of a sort, but the running surface that contacts the road is steel or aluminium in each case.
