I understand why tractors need to be on the road, and that’s fine.
I understand why tractors can’t go very fast, and that’s fine too.
What I don’t understand is why they can’t pull over occasionally to release the tailback when the queue of traffic behind them reaches back to the North Sea. I’m certain some do it on purpose because they can, just to wind up townies.
It’s not all tractor drivers, of course. It’s probably a minority even; whenever I’ve been stuck behind one locally they usually go out of their way to tuck over / wave you past when it’s safe to do so. Further away from home though, I’ve been stuck behind some right bastards some times.
