[QUOTE="Princess Pooper, post: 5200876, member: 971"] I think two reasons that there are the agricultural accidents on the road involving youngsters include: they are often part of a team/gang hauling silage/muck/corn/maize etc, lots of boring, repetitive round trips and as part of a gang greater temptation to start playing on the phone, racing and generally messing around. Ag tractors - even fast tracs - go relatively slowly (even when being driven by a bat out of hell) so they do tend to get bumped up the @rse or idiots overtaking etc - these accident not necessarily the tractor operators fault. I do think it is crazy that someone not long passed their test can take some pretty big (heavy and wide) kit out on the road without extra testing. I know one lad who really scared himself working for a contractor and having to drive big kit through villages etc and he quit as he felt he did not have enough road experience even after passing his test (he had been driving tractors for a few years).
