I agree with you. What was the car driver supposed to do? It was unfortunate that the tractor was just around a blind corner. So many people seem to think that the driver should have been able to control the car yet have no idea how much time there was to react. Not everyone on the road has the reflexes of a race car driver and maybe the car driver did the best that anybody else could have done in the same situation? She had to be paying attention or she would have hit the tractor or planter. A lot drivers would freeze up in a situation like that and just close their eyes and hope for the best. I think you need to give the car driver a break. I think the guy on the tractor should have taken precautions to warn on coming traffic. The SUV was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. The driver did state that the tractor was left of center. This would lead me to believe that they weren't blaming the driver of the car for the accident. Good thing no one was seriously injured. I'm sure the lawyers would have a field day. The farmer left the scene of an accident that he was, at the very least, partly to blame for. That's a serious offence, especially when someone could have been seriously injured or killed. Dave
