This is an open letter to the young tractor driver from Norfolk, just in case he is on here. You will know who you are, if you were driving near Fakenham a couple of weeks ago and pushed my neighbour into the ditch by your grossly inconsiderate driving. I would like to assure you she is well thankfully and recovered from her bruises, although her confidence will take far longer. Her little grey car is luckily repairable, but the expense will be considerable to her insurance, as you did not stop to share your details.
It may not have been 100% your fault as, you may both, have been driving too fast in the circumstance, but she believes the fact that the phone was stuck to your face certainly played a large part, and the fact you did not stop indicates you obviously either did not notice her, or drove on, in the hope she would not catch your details, in which you would have been correct.
What I find totally unforgivable is that you left a lady in the ditch on a country lane with absolutely not a care, as to whether she may have been seriously injured or dying!
Loutish , oafish behaviour such as this, gives all farmers a very bad name and will certainly lead to more calls, for tractors and their drivers to be bought under a much stricter regime of testing, and other restrictions particularly on younger irresponsible drivers
