Prayers for his recovery, "she was confused by the left turn hand signal" do the kids even know what they are? I know it was on my daughters test a few years ago ------------- Allis Express North Georgia 41 WC,48 UC Cane,7-G's, Ford 345C TLB |

She got away with just a ticket for passing in a no passing zone? Seems awful light to me, especially since it destroyed his tractor and sent him to the hospital in critical condition! I agree, Joe, the kids these days are idiots. I took my drivers test 4 years ago, and I know hand signals were on it. Every time I’m on a tractor on a public road, I always use hand signals and always make sure to turn and look behind me before I turn. There’s tons of idiots on the roads around here, both young and grown, and you never know what they’ll do. Prayers sent from Oklahoma. |

Prayers for his complete recovery. The most dangerous aspect of operating a tractor is driving on a public road. Most drivers are not paying attention (likely on their cell phone) and in too much of a hurry. And they don't know hand signals. When I was taking my drivers test the car did not have turn signals, yes it was that long ago, and I signaled that I was pulling to the side of the road and stopping and I almost hit some dumba$$ who passed me on the right. I called him what he was and the examiner put on my report that I had a bad attitude but he gave me a license. ------------- Just an old country boy saved by the grace of God. |

Wow not good! Wishing the best for the tractor driver. Folks dont have a idea what hand signals are. I tried to use a left hand signal and had a kid try to pass. He got a special finger signal.

Left turns scare me every time. I make sure I have a mirror I can see behind with, before I will go out on the road. If possible, with no oncoming traffic, I WILL take my share out of the middle of the road so there is no room to pass if there is anybody back there. Tractors, grain carts and large pieces of field equipment don't seem to register to many as a danger. ------------- http://www.ae-ta.com" rel="nofollow - http://www.ae-ta.com Lena 1935 WC12xxx, Willie 1951 CA6xx Dad bought new, 1954WD45 PS, 1960 D17 NF |

Heart wrenching! Prayers for a complete recovery, let's hope that the driver has learned something from this and shares it with others, I'm sure that everyone on this forum will remind anyone that operates equipment to be mindful of the other traffic ------------- Grease is always cheaper than bearings!!! |

| That happens to me a lot. Some people respect the hand signal. Others as y’all say act like they don’t know what it is. I was on the 4 wheeler a while back and a guy went around me while I was signaling left. I yelled at him and he stoped. We had a little talk. He said he thought I was motioning him around. This guy was older than me. |

More charges are probably pending. Officials are waiting to see how the farmer does. If he passes away, will more than likely see manslaughter charges filed. If they file charges for something else to soon, they might run the risk of not being able to file the right charges later. ------------- Looking at the past to see the future.

| I guess I'm lucky, in that when I need to turn left into my farm yard there's room to get off the road and treat it like a crossing. Sure, you can "take" your lane, and you can get hit by somebody too. |

I remember a farmer getting sued back in the late 70's or early 80's because he drove on the shoulder of the road and a car passed him on the left, over a hill and hitting an oncoming vehicle. Farmer lost because he drove outside the white line, turning the two lane into a three lane. Because of that Dad always made us kids use the lane like a car does. Been flipped off more than once but I just wave and smile. And I never wave a vehicle to pass me because if there is any kind of mistake the judge will blame you. I remember a farmer losing that case in court too. ------------- -- --- .... .- -- -- .- -.. / .-- .- ... / .- / -- ..- .-. -.. . .-. .. -. --. / -.-. .... .. .-.. -.. / .-. .- .--. .. ... - Wink I am a Russian Bot |

State Trooper I know told me exactly the same two things,use the whole lane and never wave someone by.Also its illegal for a vehicle to pass anything if there is a solid no passing line painted on the road. |

I got hit by a car while I was driving a tractor when I was 11, and it was not my fault. But, it does tend to leave an impression on a young man. After that, reviewing a lot of information, Dad directed all of us to use the whole lane just like you were a car. (Better have a good SMV sign, and working flashers). Following year, I was driving a tractor home, in the whole lane, cop car came up beside me and motioned for me to scoot over. Point is, like most things, there's conflicting information or more likely various levels of knowledge. You never know what's going to happen in circumstances of who's going to respond, and whose lawyer can kick whose lawyer's ass. Be careful out there and watch your back.

Speaking of SVM signs. Often times you see them used for driveway markers, which is illegal. I wish that the part of law making them illegal to use as driveway markers was enforced as much as using them on slow moving equipment.

Doubt it. Unless she was drunk, high or texting (maybe not even the texting), this will be viewed as an accident...which it likely was. This is more properly a civil law matter. Prayers for a speedy recovery. ------------- 1951 B |

| back when I first got my 7010 new, I was plowing over night, and would stop about 0330 AM and go have coffee with my cop friends at the local 24 hour greasy spoon. my field was just less that a mile away. was about to turn in the parking lot, turned on my turn signal, and the car that was behind a ways came on and started to pass me on the left. I had already started my turn and he drove off the road into a culvert. it turned out to be a state trooper! he was out cussing me and about to arrest me for anything/something when my cop friends came out and threw the blame on him, they watched the whole thing from the windows! I offered to buy him coffee after |

Years ago before SVM signs, I was towing a wagon, loaded with baled hay, behind my WD. Getting ready to turn left off a 2 lane state hi-way, I swung a little to the right, to get the wagon a little out of the way, then stuck my nose out a little to the left. I had about 3 cars that had slowed down for me turn left, and back behind them come a car not waiting for anyone, and starting to pass all of us. Good thing I looked or I would probably I would not be typing this. Dusty ------------- 917 H, '48 G, '65 D-10 series III "Allis Express" |

as a person who has sat on a tractor I understand the issues farmers face. so when I'm behind a machine driving slowly down the road I just sit back and put along until it's safe to pass. but of course I get passed along with the tractor in front of me. why is every body in such a hurry to go now were these days!! prayers from pa. p.s. I know were I'd like to shove all these cell phones the folks are using while driving!! ------------- Just cause it's orange don't make it a tractor, there's only one..Allis Chalmers |
