With harvest season under way, you're more likely to come across tractors and other slow-moving farm vehicles on rural roads. 🌳
A few things worth remembering: tractors can be wider than they look, drivers may have limited visibility and these vehicles need more time and space to manoeuvre. 🚜
Only overtake when you can see the road ahead is clear, never on a bend or the brow of a hill, be prepared to slow down and wait if there's nowhere safe to pass. ✅
The Highway Code sets out guidance on driving near road users that require extra care (rules 204 to 225), including farm vehicles. It's worth a refresher before your next rural journey. 👉 https://ow.ly/cG5t50ZvN9E
