Wreckers!!

Clearly a case of a tourist panicking when he meets a tractor on a narrow road for the first time.

A tractor that clearly cannot stop in time, though the positions suggest an excess of speed over talent on both sides.

Is it not an overhead cable? Just looking like it’s attached in the second picture.

After looking on Farming forum Facebook page there are some more pictures . But look to the right of the picture you can see a weight block in the hedge on the right .? How did that get there ? Look at the road you can see damage to the road surface in front of the weight block .

Yer spotted them last night odd where they are only thing that I can guess is tractor went forward after initial impact . However seems no damage to the tractor sombody must k ow what happened

I thenk the car has swerved left, knocked the weight off as it has gone up the banking and then flipped over the front wheel of the tractor.
Here is a reconstruction of the incident. I'm sure it will stand up in court.

ps. obviously a slow Sunday near end of lambing

Those weights can bounce off going over a speed ramp, as a young, fast silage hauling driver found out locally

Good design there

Amazed nobody was hurt. I've tracked down where the road is. It's leading in to a large village that's set to get larger once a farmstead part way along there is developed.

More like the tractor driver was on the phone & hit the car

Not yours I guess or it’s lovely evidence if something does go wrong in the future. Police, Vosa and HSE do actually check out social media etc when investigating or building a case. Just saying, I’m not here for an argument

If I had a rig like that I'd either have jumped the hedge or blown the tractor out the way with the roof mounted dual cannons

Wrong way round !

 

[dowcow]

Wrong way round !

Yeah it's amazing the number of car drivers I see on these lanes who think they can get away with a phone held to their ear because they are on quiet country roads. There's some tractor drivers too for certain though.... and some who seem to spend every second of every day on the phone. It's insane, being paid to drive £100k+ of 20 ton+ kit and pissing about chatting to your mates or gf all day. Some heads want a wobble.
