What exception does article 12.6 of the General Vehicle Regulations provide for wheel-splash protection?

Correct answer

Special vehicles when the protections are incompatible with their use.

Special vehicles when those protections are incompatible with their use. Bodywork must prevent splashing as far as possible or suitable protections must otherwise be fitted, subject to that exception. Not every special vehicle is automatically exempt. Agricultural tractors belong to that category and must not be treated as entirely separate from it; the specific incompatibility and applicable technical rules must be checked.
