[QUOTE="Robt, post: 7149239, member: 1005"] I was on a blues call out yesterday. Approx 10 cars behind tractor going through Forrest. We sat straddling the white line for 20 seconds before the tractor at fron realised a s saw us. He indicated left to pull over ( no lay-by so knew he saw us) as did every other car except 2. They simply pulled out and over took. No signal, no mirror check. Luckily we anticipate it as you can generally see when a car in front clocks you. They happily past tractor with us behind on blues. It took them another 10 seconds before they saw us. So not once did they check their mirrors... it really does make you expect the unexpected. I see 90% of farm vehicle driver expect the unexpected too. We are a high 4x4 response so our headlights shine directly at wing mirrors. Rapid response Skoda etc doesn’t and those poor buggers go faster than us and risk their own lives [/QUOTE]
