I was motoring along today in my tractor , about 28 mph top speed on this one, anyway as I exited a blind sweeping corner the car driving towards me suddenly stopped rather quickly, the reason, a white BM was attempting to overtake me I carried on, BM man had to revert to driving behind me again, , 50 yards later 30mph zone, my local village, Mr BMW tries to overtake, no speeding or overtaking in my village thank you sir, I simple ease over, blocking his overtaking chance, the village is only 1/2 mile long with good overtaking chances after it.

End of village is a left turn the tractor has a big trailer so I have to ease right to make the turn, I checked my mirrors as I turned in and guess what Mr BM was going for the undertake, what a prat. he would have looked good with 14 tonnes of wheat on his bonnet  At work

As the careful owner of many BMWs, I find that drivers adhering to the "Vorsprung durch Technik" philosophy as the No. 1 offendors. Not 100% of course, just on-balance.

Followed by tractor drivers...

Be true to yourself. That way happiness lies...

Surely that's the wrong way round? Tractor drivers are always in front, even of caravanners  Ours - 2008 Stornoway Grey HSE Auto

The chances of anyone ever overtaking a tractor on our lanes is negligible. That's why we all love 'em  Ours - 2008 Stornoway Grey HSE Auto
