No idea it wont load so cant see it.
it could have broken down80% tractor driver 20% car driver.
No way should the tractor be left blocking the road like that. But was clearly static on the road from far enough to expect the car to reduce his speed enough to avoid such an incidence.
Correct answerCar driver 100% at fault.
You should never drive so fast that your stopping distance is further than you can see ahead.
Perhaps but I doubt it, where was his hazard warning lights then or flashing beacon.it could have broken down
just it you don't know what was going on, do you know the lighting rules for that country so really is pointless gustimatingPerhaps but I doubt it, where was his hazard warning lights then or flashing beacon.
We all have the benefit of knowing an accident is going to occur but I still was shocked where the plough was.
I don't think the car driver could have reasonably ever expected that, so I'd mainly blame the tractor driver.
The farmer was parked in a stupid way, BUT he also wasnt moving so therefore its the car drivers fault. Thats the way insurance will look on it fair or unfair
I've had cars wait behind me with a plough on while waiting to turn right and just as you can move off they undertake you and never consider the swing of the implement. One Audi driver tanged his ariel on a landslide doing just that, could have been serious if the plough was a bit lower! But that plough at night looked lethal.Perhaps but I doubt it, where was his hazard warning lights then or flashing beacon.

I can see it here, maybe you have to wait till 2042....No idea it wont load so cant see it.
I'm not to bothered either way tbh I won't be loosing any sleep over itjust it you don't know what was going on, do you know the lighting rules for that country so really is pointless gustimating
I'm not surprised you've had such experiences, one time driving on the road with the plough on, a car driver behind was nearly under the plough, almost wished I could have lowered it a touch to give him a scare but lift locks at transport speed.I've had cars wait behind me with a plough on while waiting to turn right and just as you can move off they undertake you and never consider the swing of the implement.

That’s pretty much what my Dad always said, through he was a slow driver and overly cautious at all times.Dad always said drive as if there could be somebody pushing a pram across the road round the next corner especially at night.
Stood me in good stead a few times.
Prams don’t have lights. Fallen trees don’t have lights. Animals don’t have lights. Always drive in accordance with visibility and your stopping distance.
It’s not really a good excuse to smash into something just because it’s not lit up like Blackpool tower.
