Hmm... don't think that will stop the Germans invading again... but I suppose it's worth a try.

Oh yes, the MoD can of course drive tracked vehicles over the road, but only in a convoy. But possibly the Military Police do not to have to drive their YPR765's in convoy?

Knowing the Germans, and as close neighbours do, they would probably file for a convoy to notify us of their advance

While living in NY I contacted the D.O.T and they came to look at my T16 running on my freshly paved driveway and they were satisfied that no damage occurred and than allowed me to run in the parade in Hyde Park.That can be seen in the videos of the town parade 2012 and 2013.I would run it Memorial day and the 4th of July.

In a straight line, the carrier will cause no damage. But in my recent experience, on a hot day a 180° turn will find any weak spots in the road surface under the locked track.
