Giving up your right of way is one of the most dangerous things you can do behind the wheel. Someone like you did this for a pickup and trailer but I was coming the other way and didn't plan on stopping (no one behind me for miles anyway). Pickup pulled out in front of me and I hit his trailer so hard that the load went flying all over the highway. Not sure how I walked away because everything in the engine bay and both front wheels were crushed. All because someone gave up their right of way instead of just moving like they're supposed to. And there wasn't even anyone behind them either. In most situations though, you're just causing traffic to pile up so people further down the road have to wait for a massive line of angry cars to pass.

I always plan to be where i need to be 10 to 20 minutes before i have to be there and then allow atleast 20 minutes extra time than i know it will take me to drive there in the slowest traffic so I always have a 40 minute buffer for any timed arrival but i never rush it even if i do end up being late as Dad always said better to be late than DEAD on time!

Idaho! Far as I know as long as the farmer has a slow moving vehicle sign and they weren't intentionally trying to cause an accident they really have no liability. The worst stretch of highway I've ever driven in a truck was during harvest between American Falls and Aberdeen. The people in the cars don't have a clue and the farm hands driving the equipment are just as clueless! They'd have 30 cars behind them and instead of pulling over in those nice paved pull-outs they made for them they'd just keep on a going plugging up traffic. Idaho law states if there's 3 or more vehicles behind you that you have to pull over and let them pass.

Getting motion sick easily has taught me patience in city driving. To *not* be on the gas and brake so hard to maintain that minimum safety distance *at all times* like everyone else likes to do. To actually look beyond the car in front of me to know whether I should be on the gas, the brake, or if I'm good just coasting. Then I come to know the frustration of truckers when someone cuts you off because they feel the space they see in front of you is big enough for them to fit in.

As a farmer, our injury and accident insurance is in the neighborhood of $2 million per incident. Carry enough to replace our equipment no matter what it is we are driving, the other person's equipment and enough for hospital and collateral damages. That being said we try to have a tail vehicle when we can, and we can see behind our equipment. We will pull over or run the ditch when its safe to do so. If we are not making a clear effort to let people pass there is probably a reason, either we are about to turn, it isn't safe, or we have obstacles on the ditch side that require us to take up the road to not rip the signs or bridges. So just remember that tractor tire is 6-7 foot tall and doesnt give a shit about your 5 foot tall car, that tractor is atleast 18000 lbs by itself and if it's an articulated you can bet on 30000 lbs plus implement weight added to it. Our equipment is designed to cut through several inches of rock and dirt, it wont care about your 1/16 inch steel or aluminum car body. When the dust settles the tractor will be the one on top literally with the exception of a semi. It's not worth your life being crushed and torn to bits to save a couple minutes. We got a job to do just like everyone else and we are trying to do it as safe and effectively as we can for everyone around. Just give us a minute and we'll get everyone around and on their way.

As a farmer I work alone most of the time so a pilot vehicle is difficult to come by plus it adds difficulty to people being able to pass me which I would like them to do. People should be aware that not only is traffic an obstacle for moving farm equipment but so are mail boxes. Driver should be aware of where mailboxes are so they don't get caught in the middle of the operator trying to avoid a mailbox. My equipment is older and not equipped with flashing lights so I purchased magnetic light that I attached to the equipment. I usually don't worry about cars but when transporting equipment I try to get out of the way of trucks. It's to difficult for them to pass and I know they are on a schedule.

When I drove seemed like everyone that pulled out like that right in front of you they always had to turn immediately after I feel ya I personally think everyone should have to drive around in a semi and farm machinery before they are allowed to have a drivers license just so they understand

I agree about the idiots that pull out or pass then left turn. But actually be the last guy and you didn't know the farmer was turning till after the guy was passing. Guy passing got out far enough to see no one was coming. Last guy was fine. I know it's hard to relax when your not in control.

This exemplifies just ONE reason I finally said ‘to hell with trucking’ and retired In 2015 after 38 years as a veteran truck driver/owner operator. People in automobiles take too much crap for granted with the attitude of “that truck driver won’t run over me bc he’ll lose his job”. SMH.

I was involved in a wreck on our landscaping tractor; a few years ago. I had my hand out to turn left and put it back on steering wheel to turn. Car passed on left side. It hit the rear tire and our roll over box.

I was once riding on a coach bus in a sow storm. They were closing he highway behind us, and you could only really see about 20 feet out the windshield. All of a sudden, I see tail lights come up the right side of the bus. My thought was "Oh, he's not gonna..." but yep. Tried to cut the bus off by turning left in front of it, lost traction, and skidded sideways. There was nowhere for the bus to go but right into the driver's side of that pickup. Poor bus driver thought she killed him. That bastard in the pickup was lucky to be alive!

Our feed truck just put a new train horn on his truck. He'll hit it on our farm and the dishes rattle in the house. Kids love it.

I love it when they try to pass when you are turning, I ran someone right off the road because they came out of nowhere to pass as I was entering the farm lane on the opposite side of the road, I have mirrors and flashers on the tractor but you can’t see what bullshit is about to happen despite all that, I try to drift over ahead of time but In this instance there was a car coming the other way so I had to slow down and let them pass and to the prick behind me that meant pass as fast as possible

The one thing my trainers hammered into our heads in CDL training is that you're the professional and the vast majority of drivers are amateurs so you need to anticipate and just deal with the idiots. Even if they break the law and it's legally their fault that doesn't mean you won't get in trouble (or fired) for not predicting the idiocy and avoiding the fallout.

That's SOP, ride bumpers, edge out and weave through traffic, just to "hurry up and slow down or stop". The people are special...ED.

As a truck driver i can attest to people being stupid around trucks. Last winter i drove school bus for something to keep me busy in the off-season and it was surprising the amount of respect school busses get. But in a semi (or now im driving bulk fuel truck) people continuously cut you off or try to beat you. Common courteous is a thing of the past. The thing that picks my ass the most is when someone passes me then goes 5km slower than what i have my cruise set at!

I hope more people and farmers catch onto the words of wisdom in this video. Spending half my life in rural Wyoming I have come across tractors far more than I can count. It is a safety issue not having anything to let approaching cars know. Worst part about it is the amount of people that speed like crazy on the two laners. Volatile combination

In a hurry to get from something stupid to nothing at all. I'll hang behind farmers with my hazards on to give them a bit of a buffer so no one's right on their tail. No reason to risk life and limb to get home 2 minutes sooner.

It doesn’t matter if you have a 60 to 80,000lb dozer on your trailer. You better come to stop when IM READY TO PULL ON THE ROAD! I see it everywhere in New England! Then again I have watched my wife on route 6 in Maine do 80+ mph trying to pull away from empty logging trucks that just keep pushing her down the road. Respect and responsibility is not a one way road ! Great video ! 👍👍

I know when I drove my 37 ft winnebago I had a new respect for truck drivers. Who by the way were the only ones who were courteous on the road! Had a stupid lady who apparently didn't know how to merge on a highway and decided to cut in front of me just to slam on her brakes! My poor niece who was sitting on the bed at the back of RV literally flew off the bed when I had to slam on my brakes! Thankfully I had just had all my brakes and calipers replaced after losing my brakes driving in the mountains! Now that was scary! I remember my nieces face went white when she realized my brakes weren't working

I drove a truck for 2 years. Saw so many people doing stupid ass shit to get around me, or in front of me. I had a lady cross 5 lanes of traffic to get to the exit. She had 3 kids in the back seat, none of which were in a restraint. This happened while traveling at 55mph. If I hadn't been paying attention, she would have been my hood ornament.
