Lets see, speed limit 60 mph, tractor going about 10 mph. Unless you lock the brakes you're still going to come up really fast. There was no way to know it was a tractor in my lane. The guy in the tractor is supposed to have flashing lights and a SMV sign that is clearly visible. He didn't. It could have been a semi or anything else in the other lane. I couldn't tell what it was until I got fairly close. Some of the new headlights on vehicles are also so blinding that you want to pull over and stop. A large slow moving and over width machine, especially at night, needs to take extra precautions while on the road than a regular vehicle. Also the grammer I used is a lot better than what you tried to quote me on. Sometimes when people are in a hurry or don't have far to go, they take some huge risks. I saw blinding headlights and slowed down. Someone else driving may have also thought that seeing headlights, meant a vehicle was coming the other way and hit the tractor. Cars don't have headlights on the back, they have red tail lights. The guy in the tractor should have turned his rear work lights off, so that his SMV sign and flashing marker lights could be seen. You couldn't even see the duals because it was so bright. Tractors don't get special privledges on public roads and hwy's. Dave
