WE don't need another law, Boyd , who is to say thAt the driver would had paid attention to turn signals ANYWAY ,to avoid this accident //// Farmers maintaining turn signal indicators on every dampiece of equipment would be a royal PIA , I have had a dum young girl pass me in my combine around a blind curve going up a steep hill DEEP ditches on both sides ..my son was in the lead escort vehicle and stopped a school bus JUST in TIME on the other side !... all new drivers should be taught about the hazards of slow movin equipment on roads ,,some 20 yrs ago,, I witnessed this exact SAME type of accident on my rural state hiwy , it was hour after dark fell ,,I came up on a 100 hp Ford tractor,all lit up in road gear ,,was not pullin anything , curvy hilly road was not safe to pass until we got to where the FORD was going, at which time the Ford tractor operator TURNED ON HIS LEFT TURN SIGNAL..i was not even aware that someone was behind me until I heard the 4 barrel kick down as this nut went around us , just when the kid on the tractor was turnin left into the farm drive ,, IMPACT spun the tractor against gatepost,, it would later need the axle replaced ,, pikup went down in a ditch, on its side,. NO One was hurt ,, But both were scared $hitless....kid in truk was drinking a little beer .. and knew the kid on tractor ,, they were in hi school and in the same FFA chapter together ,,. the kid in truck told all the Dads that QUIKLY ASSEMBLED THERE ,, HE SIMPLY WAS NOT THINKIN , had a good song on the radio and wanted to get to his Girls house and had just opened his 1st and only beer , when he topped the hill and saw a good chance to pass , he took it ,,,, we all believed him,,. the Dad of the tractor driver had to convince the sheriff to let the pikup driver stay out of jail ,,. none of the families wanted trouble amongst them ,, and the tractor seemed unharmed at the time ,, the kids old truk was a mess but still driveable and he was most repentive and to this day relates this valuable lesson he learned ,... ,,and Life Goes on ,,, and in time,$hit can happen and death happens ,,this will never be a perfect world ,.. You just cannot write a handbook against stupidity and inattention
