When I was a fire officer we were going to a fire call down a single track road. We met an elderly woman driving her car and both stopped. I turned off the blue lights as she was panicking. She couldn’t reverse her car & didn’t even try! I had to jump out of the cab - take the wheel of her car and reverse it back down the lane!

Eleanor you did well there it could have been very awkward you kept your cool which sometimes is the best way but some of these drivers today have no common sense it was fairly obvious you couldn’t get through it’s not easy hauling straw through tight Country lanes with big tractors and trailers like yours I must say your very organised with your straw carting it’s great watching you and Eleanor don’t cart it all before we come down before long don’t work to hard and keep up the the good work X

Living in mid-Cornwall & riding an Ebike, I use the lanes, byways & tracks to avoid riding on main roads: Ergo, I meet plenty of contractors' big green machines - The most entertaining being the 5-furrow ploughs that prune both hedges as they go. The guys are pretty much all as good as gold & hold back to give me a bit of time to dive off into a gateway or ditch; I don't argue {:0) I have infinitely more trouble with the visitors in their 'Lieutenant Gruber's little tanks' who can't manage any road wot doesn't have a white line down the middle & need at least a foot clearance on the nearside so they don't scratch their posh paintwork. I've been asked why I ride 2-3ft out from the hedge through the blind bends, preventing them from passing...

That woman driver all she has to do is go up the kerb just like you would parking at home. Feeble excuses she would get a flat tire. Not if you go up and off the kerb slowly. Some people are absolutely useless on the country roads.

While harvesting a few weeks ago we had one of our cart trailers going down a narrow road fully loaded when a small car came and moved only ever so slightly over and refused to move at all. my mum who was carting at the time ultimelty gave in as she had to quickly get back and moved over onto the bank of the road almost flipping the trailer while the car just remained smack in middle of the road. I hate how inconsiderate these people are

As my Mother would say, manners maketh man or woman of course. Why is spending an extra thirty seconds of your life to help assist the speed in which the harvest can be completed so annoying for people? Allowing farm workers to crack on with the day job benefits everyone. Why do I say everyone? Everyone eats, or drinks a farm’s produce up to three times a day, every day of their life. Doing so shows respect for the tough work they put in 365 days a year. Best wishes, Tony.

If she can't reverse or figure out the alternatives, she's not much of a driver. On country roads drivers should be prepared for that. Alternatively you could hire that KZbin star farmer that moved the car that was blocking his entrance. That went quite well I thought!

Sorry example of a) incompetent driver not capable of handling their vehicle - they should not be driving a car full stop b) ignorant selfish idiot - no doubt the first to complain if the shelves are empty of food. Makes my blood boil how people act so selfishly with no regard for hard working farmers keeping this country running. I think you were too accommodating but you had the moral high ground anyway. Talk about a ‘karen’…

it wouldn't have been very far for that car to have reversed back to that entrance.......i farm in Devon and our lanes are barely wider than a a 100hp tractor is so people need to know how to reverse around these parts although saying that there's many that can't........maybe the driving test needs to include more reversing

Hi Eleanor, it's the first time u have seen your videos and I was impressed with your driving, your efficiency and the efficiency of the operation you guys are running, all nice well maintained equipment to , the way you delt with ranty lady was very good, very polite and to the point, I get not everyone knows how to react when faced with a large vehicle but she only wound herself up but on the flip side she gave all the drivers a laugh and hopefully you laughed at her to. Ohh and I really hope she didn't get a puncture, hopefully she will invest in some reversing lessons .😂

I live on the route to/from a farm.Over the last 2 weeks the farm has been baling and there are numerous tractors & trailers back/forward ALL day. The route is also a bus route, is popular with dog walkers/pedestrians, 9-5 traffic, and HORSE riders from a nearby stable. The farm machinery has to negotiate a road with traffic parked both sides, with limited room to get through. The drivers have my greatest respect - other drivers MUST obey the Highway Code and be considerate and courteous.....and learn how to manoeuvre your vehicle !!!!!
