30 • The Beacon September 24 , 2020 Lookout for farm equipment traveling on the roads Hello Coshocton County . As we officially move into fall , there will be an increase of farm equipment traveling on the roads . Road safety is especially important as farmers and motorists share the road during harvest season . This is a good time to refresh both the motoring public and farmers about some safe practices for traveling on public roads . Vehicle collisions are often the result of the speed difference between slower-moving farm equipment and passenger cars and trucks . Many times the vehicle driver simply doesn ’ t have enough time to react if they do not recognize the farm equipment soon enough . It is critical for both farmers and motorists to do their part . Rural road rage can be negated if everyone takes the responsibility to have extra patience , careful driving habits , and use high-visibility markings and lighting . For farmers , make sure your equipment has proper lighting and that a slow-moving vehicle emblem is mounted to the last piece of equipment being hauled . The emblem should be pointed up , placed 2-8 feet above the ground and as near to rear center as possible . It also may be wise to use an escort vehicle to follow behind , especially during high-traffic times in the morning and late afternoon . For motorists , remember farm machinery has a legal right to use public roads just as other motor vehicles . Farm machinery can unexpectedly turn onto a public road from a field or driveway . Farm machinery travels slower than normal traffic , often at speeds of 25 mph or less . When you first see a tractor or combine on the road , your first instinct should be to slow down . A car traveling at 55 mph can overtake and close a gap of 300 feet with a tractor running 15 mph in just five seconds . This is about the length of a football field , which does not give you much time . Watch for farm equipment and slow down immediately to avoid rear-end crashes . Farm machinery operators may not be able to see you because the large equipment or a load can block part of their rearward view . Remember , if you can ’ t see the driver , the driver can ’ t see you . Before passing farm machinery , check to be sure the machinery is not turning left . Look for left-turn lights or hand signals . If the machinery slows and pulls toward the right side of the road , the operator is likely preparing to make a wide left turn . Likewise , sometimes to make a right turn with wide equipment , the driver must fade to the left . Also be on the lookout for roadside obstacles such as mailboxes , bridges or road signs that may cause the machinery to move to the center of the road . Be sure there is adequate distance for you to safely pass . Farmers are well aware being stuck behind a tractor is not fun . As the line of cars backs up behind a tractor , the driver is scanning what is ahead and looking for a safe place to pull over and let traffic pass . Be patient . Farmers hate having to transport machinery on the road . It is a dangerous and nervewracking part of their jobs , but combines and tractors must be moved from one field to the next . Remember , driving in that tractor or combine is someone ’ s dad , mom , son or daughter . They are your neighbors . They are trying to do their job and get there safely , just like you . A little patience and courtesy can go a long way in keeping us all safe on the roads this fall .

To close , I would like to share a quote from Jeff Cooper , who stated , “ Safety is something that happens between your ears , not something you hold in your hands .” Have a good and safe day .
