[QUOTE="Brute 23, post: 1237228, member: 6291"] The problem is not the buggies or tractors on the roads... its the idiots doing 80 mph on their cells phone and never tapping the breaks when they see this type of equipment. I grew up driving our Ford 5000 over 30 mi from property to property before I was a teen. By the time I was 12-13 we were driving trucks. A couple of years ago I was hit by a Nissan car on a tractor. She never hit the breaks. She pushed the 90hp tractor and disk almost a 100yrs down the pavement. I started sliding sideways into the ditch. The only thing that saved me from being crushed when it rolled was the disk jack knifed. Both the hitches and pin were twisted. When I stopped the inside tire was off the ground and up against the disk. A couple months ago my dad was hit driving 60mph at 6am on his way to work from behind by a little car driving too fast. They hit him hard enough to buckle the frame on impact. It shot him into the ditch where he rolled and slid on top the cab for several hundred yards. He crawled up the dutch and was by the road when other cars started to stop. Point is... it doesn't matter if your 10 yrs old in a buggy... 25 on a tractor... or 60 in a truck... when these idiots come flying down the road no one is safe. [/QUOTE]
