Every year in the UK drivers of agricultural equipment are killed and many
more are seriously injured when their vehicle or plant comes into contact,
or too close to, overhead power lines. Anyone driving agricultural
vehicles or operating plant near overhead power lines should be extra
vigilant of power lines which can carry voltages of up to 132,000 volts.
