UNDATED (Wisconsin Radio Network) – More farm equipment is going to be out on county roads as the fall harvest continues, and farmers are asking people to slow down and take it easy.
As farm equipment starts to get out on the roads this fall, be sure you’re driving safely around them. Farm Bureau member Shane Goplin says that there’s never a good reason to pass a vehicle in a no-passing zone, even if it’s a slow moving vehicle. “I’ve had instances where I was even making a right-hand turn and somebody passed me on the left over a blind Hill and it just sent cringes down my neck.”
Goplin says you should never pass someone in a no passing zone. “Boy, you don’t know what’s coming around that corner, or over that hill and it could be dangerous, no doubt!”
Goplin says he and other farmers will make room for you if you need to go around them, but just give them the time to do so safely.
