27.—(1) This article applies to a special type agricultural vehicle to which article 26 applies.
(2) If the special type agricultural vehicle is caused to stop on a bridge for any reason, the driver of the vehicle must ensure—

(b)that no concentrated load is applied to the surface on that part of the road carried by the bridge.
(3) But where the action described in paragraph (2)(a) or (b) is not practicable and it becomes necessary to apply any concentrated load to the road surface by means of jacks, rollers or other similar means, the driver or other person in charge of the vehicle must—
(a)before the load is applied to the road surface, seek advice from the authority (within the meaning of Schedule 9) responsible for the maintenance of the bridge about the use of spreader plates to reduce the possibility of damage caused by the application of the load; and
(b)ensure that no concentrated load is applied without using spreader plates in accordance with any advice received.
