when your late for something in (rural)Ireland its a totally valid excuse to say I got stuck behind a tractor. not kidding! now you know why :D

[@johnkeegan9264]

This is what's know as the tractor Factor when driving in Ireland a lot of people die each year coming around a corner and there's one of these stopped in the road or their doing 5 miles an hour and people just drive straight into them or swerve to avoid them and crash. I even seen a car impaled on hay forks (Their 5 feet long 2 inch thick solid steel bars that fit onto the back or front of a tractor to move hay bails around they are lethal

Battle of the Boyne back road. Where the bridge is crossing is where the battle was held. All roads there are ancient roads. That whole area is the ancient battle of the Boyne site.

I’d rather be behind it on those narrow roads than going against it. I don’t know why I found 7:38 so funny. Traffic jam -even the pedestrians are blocked 😂

When I saw the tractor I said "hey am I crazy to think he's doing something wrong? is he ok or druged?" and affter seen the whole video (like a movie because you wanna see if the driver is gonna to make it agaist the tractor) I said "yes there's something bad with they guy in the tractor". At least in my country thats an traffic violation and the police take them away. His driving was erratic and irresponsible.

I think the main problem is that the roads are too small for a huge vehicle. You need to be careful on these roads:there are a lot of band ends and can be very dangerous.The tractor moving into the bushes to let the cars past is something of common practice here.

Why the road so tiny

[@michaelcurran6190]

Godwin Ogabo Most Irish road are hundreds of years old, made for horse and cart

[@Vividimaginations24]

Micheal Curran wow its just too tiny i would just be using a bike to get around

[@michaelmurphy4107]

If your living outside Dublin nobody gives a dam

[@Vividimaginations24]

Michael Murphy what?

[@grace7065]

Godwin Ogabo the Irish government only really invest money in the capital of Ireland for example if there is any pothole in the road in Dublin it would be fixed within 8 hours but if you lived in the countryside and there's a pothole on the road. It would be at least a month before the council fix it.
