SME 50/30 Metre Rule Scenario 1- Travelling on a roadway Always maintain 50m behind SME The red car is fine to pass as normal. The yellow car must maintain 50m distance from SME

SME 50/30 Metre Rule Scenario 2 - SME in operation Red Vehicle is not required to make positive radio communication as it is separated from the SME by a physical barrier Physical Barrier Yellow vehicle is not separated from SME by a physical barrier so MUST make positive radio communication at 50m & at 30m. SME must be parked (GET grounded & operator away from controls) before LV may approach within 30m

SME 50/30 Metre Rule Scenario 3 - SME approach LV SME must not approach within 50m of LV without positive radio communication. The SME is not allowed to operate within 30m of the LV so must not approach within 30m (unless there is a physical barrier in place)
