MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
kcal - I think I would be hyper twitchy if the tractor was approaching any field gates though. Even turning left into a field they turn quite wide, and turning right - are you sure their indicators are 100% functional..?
*flashes back to lying on the road staring at the sky, barely able to breathe thinking I was paralyzed*
6 months after getting my first 125 I made the rookie mistake of overtaking a tractor on a clear day, no other traffic, wide road. The tractor turned right into a concealed field entrance with no hesitation or attempt to indicate or signal in any way. I tried to brake and avoid him, but I hit his trailer - bruised kidney and fractured vertebrae and mangled bike ensued. The impact to my kidney saved my spine from being totally smashed. Lesson learned - tread cautiously when overtaking tractors! 🙂
Honestly, I have never found people doing 40 in a 60 to be a problem. It's an easy overtake as soon as there's a straight. The buggers doing 60-65, on the other hand...
