Tractor safety on the road

Posted by Formerly PaMike on November 17, 2006 at 09:26:37 from (24.152.213.144):

I was heading to work the other morning and it was about dawn. As I rounded the corner in my truck I see two headlights in my lane coming straight at me. I slam on the brakes and am about ready to send my truck into the ditch when I realize the lights are not coming at me as fast as they should. I stay in my lane and creep on at about 10 mph because I have no idea whats going. As I get closer I find its a Menninite farmer with a steel wheel tractor on the road. He is headed in the same direction as me, and he has his two rear field lights on. No blinking red or orange. What I thought were headlights were his rear field lights. He is pulling a wagon with no lights on it, and one tattered SMV sigh that is half covered in dirt or manure, while driving on a road with sharp curves and a speed limit of 45 mph. Now I know why people catagorize us as "Dumb Farmers".
