I'm puzzled about this apparent restriction for civilian use.
I've either driven or been an in-cab instructor for 10000s of km and not had a single brake failure, nor have I heard of any such failures, (unlike the LSVW!)
Page 9 of the Official MTO Air Brake Handbook describes air over hydraulic braking systems, which the MLVW has, so why the "illegality" of civilian use?
Pity, 'cause many farmers in this area pester me about getting one when they get released. Of course they can do what they like on their own property and that 8.2 liter fuel pincher engine would be a shame to have to scrap.
