Reported today in the London Free Press, that a man who had lost his licence for impaired driving decided to use his 1943 Farmall H to do his cruising with. He and his sweetie went to a party some 22 miles from his residence last July. They were coming home in the middle of the night when they hit a bridge abuttment and were thrown into the river below. The tractor had the front end snapped off. In court he testified that his girlfriend was the actual driver, setting on his lap and that he was indeed impaired and had fallen asleep, but he wasn't the driver ,not having care and control of the vehicle. The Free Press reporter obviously not from a farm background reported the vehicle as "a 1943 International Farm Haul H tractor" Is there a moral to this story?...a wimmins on your lap can break your "bolster'

We had a case around here where the fellow was cited for d.u.i. after he was observed driving erractically on the sidewalk...on his lawnmower.
Seems he ran out and drove down to the corner bar to pick up a fresh pack.

Michael: I might add that when I lived in Nova Scotia where 95% of the land is forested, city folk quite regularly come up with some unusual spellings for tractor names. I've heard farm haul before, cockshot was another good one, alice chumbler, just to name a few. I find folks around London are actually quite well informed about farm issues and tractors. Much better than Halifax for example. Maybe the London Free Press has an immigrant court reporter. Gosh you may even have another Maritimer in your midst. Ontario is sure going down hill fast. Oh what the heck, I'll bet D. Mc Ginty spells it Farm Haul.

Michael: I heard another about a guy and his girl some 10 miles from home with ride on mower tractor and he in the cart. He was already suspended and she was about to be. As one drunk put it back in my home town," I have to take the tractor, I can't walk, even if I could I may be more dangerous on foot than on tractor."

I heard of another old codger, when told about the impending breathaliser legislation some 20 years ago. He said,"Wont be much fun drinking if you can't drive around and visit."

Hugh, It remends me of the guy who was weaving and reeling while fumbling for his car keys, when a police officer happened upon him and asked if he really intended on driving in his condition. To which the drunk replied that he had no choice but to drive since he was in no condition to walk. One of our local township police department billboards, this fall, had a message which read, "If you find it difficult to not drink and drive, we"ll be glad to help you". What amazes me, is that some people think that they can drive anything else but a car or truck while drunk or drinking, such as boats, snowmobiles, ATV"s, Lawn mowers, tractors, etc. and think it is OK since they arent on the inter-state.
