EU rule means you will need insurance for ride-on lawnmowers and tractors
Then Point 17-23 in the case I listed basically says... Because EU rules say blah, blah blah, we find.. and the rest of the case law, heavily relies on EU rules.
So "EU rules means you will need insurance for ride-on lawnmowers and tractors" is correct. However, the insurance is currently provided by the MIB as the regulations requiring the above to be insured on private property has not been brought in to effect. The UK is not in compliance with the above.
Currently we are all paying for peoples lawnmowers and tractors to be insured as the MIB is funded by motor vehicle insurance.
no it isn't. You are speaking as if this is a new rule to be introduced by the EU in the future. it isn't.
More accurately, "UK court says you need insurance for ride-on lawnmowers and tractors, under certain circumstances"

No - thats not what the ruling says. The ruling says the MIB is liable for the damages in the absence of insurance. The EU Directive introduced in 2009 has widely been ignored by many member states, including Portugal, Slovenia and possibly Italy who have all had cases tested in the EU court. The UK 2018 ruling is that the MIB is responsible for claims in the absence of the RTA88 being extended. This has left a scenario of state funded insurance, which has led to the UK having to implement the 2009 directive via legal changes to the RTA88 that it does not want to do. It is only the test cases heard in the last 2 years that have forced this. So its interpretation is a new thing.
It is EU law that would have forced the UK to change its laws to extend the requirement for vehicle insurance to extend to private land. The UK court has made its ruling not on the requirements in the Road Traffic Act, but the requirements of Article 3 of the 2009 EU Directive.
Not sure how much clearer it could be?
