Every year more than 15,000 farm vehicles are involved in collisions on U.S. roads. More than two thirds of these collisions involve the farm vehicle being hit from the rear. Over 90% of these collisions occur in the daylight on dry roads. Many of these accidents occur because motorists do not realize how slow the farm vehicle is traveling and how quickly they will overtake it. Also, they may not realize how wide the equipment is.
Tractors should have tail lights, red or amber turn signals, and amber flashers that are visible both front and rear. Flashers should be placed 16 inches or less from the right and left extremes.
We're well into spring — the weather is warm, flowers are blooming, trees are leafing out — and farmers are working the fields. This is a busy, busy time of year for farmers. In a very limited space of time they will prepare and plant their fields. When the conditions are right, farmers will be in the fields from dawn to dusk; even later if there are lights on their equipment. What does this mean for rural residents? It means frequently encountering farm equipment on the roads.
As more and more people relocate to rural areas, roadway dangers from careless interaction with farm equipment increase. The next time you find yourself behind farm equipment on the road and are tempted to speed up to try and get by it, slow down and take a deep breath instead. Stay back a safe distance; look for mirrors on the tractor and keep them in sight.
If the operator can see you, they will look for an opportunity to pull over and make room for you to pass, and often signal when it is safe to do so. Proceed carefully, watching for oncoming traffic and road conditions that might endanger you, other drivers or the equipment operator. Move quickly but prudently. If the operator does not pull over, and you're sure they can see you, assume they have deemed it unsafe to do so; trust their judgment and relax. They'll get out your way as soon as they can.
