I'm already marked !!you better watch out or the farming forum police will have you down as aggressive and depressed remember .Remember thou shall not complain
There's your problem, those stupid beacons flashing away annoy and confuse drivers behind you and you're right some of them are that bright they distract you from the indicators.
Don't need them unless you're on a dual carriageway do you?
i think the small willy brigade(twin beacons strobes all over) has f**ked up amber warning lightsTotally agree. The twin LED's I have seen locally ,on the back of the trailer are the worst... complete morons IMO.
Eh?Putting your indicators on, does not give you right of way, whether it be traffic from in front or behind ,
In the case of turning right in the OP post, even if he was indicating as he said he was, he has to give way to passage of traffic from both directions
What u need is a thing like a level crossing barrier painted red u can lower on the right side to stop the hoors from overtaking.Why do continually overtake tractors indicating right and waiting to turn off.
Today with a 200hp tractor and 3000 gallon tank on the back had to stop and wait for 5 cars to overtake me before I could turn right into field.
Next run I was stopped waiting for on coming traffic to clear so I could turn right and the car behind cut out immediately to try and pass but I had already started pulling across his lane so he had to wait.
The other day and artic lorry did the exact same thing just as I was about to go right into a side road with the same outfit. I thought being a lorry they would show more sense.
2 led indicators on the back which are as plain as day and working so not like they can say they never knew what I was planning.
Is it illegal to overtake someone indicating and waiting to turn right?
Also these new headlights look like they have flashed you when going over the slightest bumpNot tractors but I hate the trend in new cars of having orange led indicators inside a ring of red led brake lights. Makes the indicator very hard to see imo.
Eh?Eh?
Nothing to do with right of way.
A vehicle ahead has priority. If they are indicating they should be allowed to complete their manoeuvre as to overtake would be in contravention with rule 167.
You're disagreeing with the Highway Code, not me.Eh?
We will agree to disagree then
I thought that was just me! I'm forever looking in my mirrors wondering what the person behind is flashing at.Also these new headlights look like they have flashed you when going over the slightest bump
Problem is, as life has given us more labour and time saving devices and systems, so people feel that they have less time and have to save more! Hence, can't wait while a tractor is turning or driving slowlyAll HGV here have these signs on the rear of their trailers. It is definitely illegal ( & highly dangerous ) to overtake anyone turning right ( assuming by that you mean they are overtaking you on the right hand side. Perfectly acceptable to overtake a stationary waiting to turn right, on the left side, if there is room & it is safe to do )
I’m surprised you don’t have something similar . . .
