around you are aware of the difference in speed
between your vehicle and theirs.
4. Watch your mirrors. Always use rearview
and side mirrors so you know your position on
the roadway, as well as that of other motorists.
The mirrors will help make you aware of your
vehicle’s distance from the shoulder.
5. Secure your load. Equipment that is being
towed must be secured and properly balanced.
6. Take it slow. Drive slowly, especially when
making turns or driving down steep inclines.
Lower speeds will help you avoid a rollover.
7. Travel on less-busy roads. When possible,
avoid highly traveled roads, especially during
times when traffic is heaviest.
8. Keep passengers off the equipment. Do not
let passengers, especially children, ride anywhere
on the vehicle except for inside the cabin.
9. Know the state laws and regulations. Stay
informed of the latest codes and requirements,
as well as recommendations from the American
Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers
for equipment like vehicle markers.
10. Practice good maintenance. Always keep
your vehicles and equipment well maintained
and your farm equipment insurance and farm
car insurance current. Today, Nationwide is the
No. 1 farm insurer in the U.S. and a leader in
insurance and risk management solutions for
