PeteNY has covered it pretty well below. And his views are shared by several buddies in law enforcement here in upstate NY. A few more thoughts: 1 - Use a fresh SMV (not one that's faded out) AND amber flashers. The more of both the better. 2 - Turn on all your lights when you're on the road. 3 - Use common sense! If you can take back roads and avoid a major state highway, then do so - even if the route is longer. 4 - Be courteous and give way to non-tractor traffic. Pay as much attention to what's going on behind you as in front. If you see you are starting to impede following traffic, PULL OVER wherever it's safe and let 'em pass. 5 - Don't even think about going out onto the road unless your brakes are 100% You should be able to skid both tires on asphalt. If you can't, keep it in the field!!
