Subject: RE: Beating a dead horse here, farm machinery and cars

I have wondered if part of the problem might be related to the design of the warning lights on tractors. I suppose it's possible for traffic following to either ignore them, or become so acclimated to the flashing lights that they don't even notice when one flasher goes solid and the other is still flashing. Throw an idiot behind the wheel and now you have an interesting scenario at hand.

I have pretty much decided that it's going to have to be my responsibility to just assume that when I am making a left turn someone is going to try to pass me. This means that I either gradually hog the left side of the road, use the extended mirrors to look for idiots (if I'm driving a tractor equipped as such), or cautiously make it known that I'm making a turn. I prefer that everyone get to their final destination unscathed.

Narcissistic people that flip off us farmers on the road, and travel one foot off of the drawbar kind of proves that they don't understand the road capabilities of farm equipment. I put those people in the same category as the idiots that get upset with construction crews and emergency personnel.
