Perfectly Legal
If you were not surprised about just how easy it is to buy a tank, you will certainly be surprised to hear that there is nothing illegal about driving one on the streets. Yes, they are basically just like regular cars! Of course, Mead is much more likely to attract the attention of other people when he takes his tanks out for a ride. He even shared, “People often do a double take. They can’t believe it, and when they see the tax disc which verifies it’s road legal, they’re even more gobsmacked.”

Nick Mead likes to take advantage of the legality of his tanks on the street. This is why he often drives them through town. According to him, people tend to wave “as if their hands are going to drop off” when they catch sight of him. He also likes to tease the police. “The police often grin or look the other way and most of them don’t know what to do, it’s not every day you see a tank rolling into town,” he told The Telegraph. He clearly likes to mess with people without doing anything illegal!
