As planting season continues, it is important to share the road and remember farm equipment travels t slower speeds.
In one moment, your life can change forever.
This next story is an example of that. The New York Farm Bureau introduces us to Joseph Tyler and how an unexpected tragedy on a routine drive home impacted his family.
Some safety tips to keep in mind:
- Stay aware and slow down when ag equipment is present
- Watch for slow-moving vehicle signs
- Keep all tires on the road and expect ag equipment operators to do the same. Driving with one set of tires on loose-surface shoulders can increase the risk of rolling over.
- Watch for both electronic and hand turn signals.
- Just because a piece of equipment veers right does not mean the operator is pulling over to allow someone to pass.
