be just the way they show up on the video.
Agree, you can see he slows up and pulls over to the right.the car visibly goes towards the tractor
If the road surface is anything like around hereTractor is bouncing, so it looks as though the lights flash. What speed would set up a bounce in that type of tractor on ordinary roads?
Need to have a death wish more like.Car visibly braking long before the impact assume saw what was going to happen and was looking for a claim

Sadly, happens far too often. Road etiquette has been totally lost. No different to when you want to pass a parked vehicle, and those coming toward you stick to the centre line.Or (as I often see on rural roads) thought he'd face the thing off as he was (just) on his side of the white line
Often as drivers look at something, they instinctively seem to drift towards it ! Probably a couple of phones involved too.the car visibly goes towards the tractor
Second only to Volvo's?Some people just panic when they see something big coming towards them
Happens fairly regular when i`m out with combine over the summer, the amount of times cars seem to steer towards you is unbelievable.
Think the car was an Avensis?? so probably an older driver
Car could easily of avoided both the implement and the slightly sunken drain 20yds beyond the point of contact.Looks like there was a pothole/ collapsed drain cover on the car's side of the road. If it were me, I would brake for that and also use all of my side of the road - the tractor driver certainly wouldn't compensate me for swerving away, missing him and damaging a wheel on my own car. No blame to the car driver for the tractor driver's error.

Witnessed it riding with a mate following me I rounded a corner with ease he ended up in the ditch asked him what happened he answered he looked at the verge on the bend exit next thing he knew he was sat on his arse in the grassI seem to remember it is called target fixation.
I remember listening to a bike safe talk in which the traffic coppers said that the majority of single vehicle motorbike accidents happened on corners where the rider should have been able to get round but didn't because of this very problem.
Was secured well anyway
