You can legally drive a tank on British roads

HERE’S THE INTERESTING PART

Forget the Range Rover, the ultimate grocery-getter in the UK is a sixty-ton armored behemoth. As long as the weapons are decommissioned, you possess a category H license, and you add rubber pads to the tracks so you don't instantly obliterate the asphalt, you can legally commute in a tank. Good luck parallel parking, though at least no one is going to honk at you for taking too long.
