Abstract: A vehicle for line marking, having a steering mechanism (10) including: a directional wheel (5) that pivots about a steering shaft (12) coupled to a steering actuator (13); a control actuator (21) responsive to a steering wheel (22); and a universal joint coupling the control actuator (21) and the steering actuator (13) at a fixed angle between 20° to 70°, preferably 30° to 60°; the angle of the universal joint acting to produce a varying steering ratio as the steering wheel is moved away from its centred position. The vehicle includes a hydraulic pump circuit for a motor (101) driven line marking spray device (77) having a hydraulic supply line (105) for the motor with a check valve (107) and a high pressure accumulator (109) between the check valve and the motor and a pressure actuated ram (102) to deactivate the pump (100) when the pressure exceeds a threshold; the motor return line having a low pressure accumulator (110) and a restricted (112) bypass line (111).
