...or the guys around here with Case sprayers who do all their roading with their axles moved out to full width. There's a button in that cab that changes that ya'know?

Fricken NDPERS!!!

My favourite is when i have to grab some of the left lane to make the right turn off secondary highways onto gravel or approaches... and 9 times out of 10 i get the finger or yelled at becauss my choice ( legal) of taking wide right turns impedes that car from getting to go 125 kph. Usually just get passed AS im making my wide right turn .. which , was confirmed by an rcmp is actually "illegal"!
Not many people know but you arent technically allowed to pass someone when they are turning right even if the road is open... it would be the vehicle attempting to pass' fault if there were an accident ( unless large truck didnt properly signal...etc..etc).

Half the time i just throw on my left turn signal then turn right...
Head fake.
Quick decision!!

One thing that baffles me is people , especially those that should know better like fellow farmers , that can see you coming for at least a mile but refuse to or just simply too dense to pull into an approach or a crossroad to let you by . Most times it would take them 30 seconds to a minute at most to wait , but nope , they will drive right past an approach then be mad that they are half in the ditch when passing equipment. It’s simply baffling how stunned some can be at certain times if the year .
I always pull over over to let equipment go by when I see them coming or vice versa , will pull over when opportunity is there with equipment to let vehicles pass .
Life is too short to be stupid, especially this time of year and seeding time .

Yes it works both ways.
I see increasing legislation regarding moving equipment. We can't keep assuming everyone understands or just knows, nor can we keep knocking over rail crossing signs for example. A Humboldt is coming.
There is double the traffic from a generation ago, none of which grew up on a farm, and equipment is 3 times larger.
I do it too but it's a matter of time.

We have a few farmers like that in our area. They really do think they are a level above everyone else, and most of them never left home . small town narrow mindedness.

The thing that gets me is when the local BTO moves all 4 combines , 2 grain carts and 3 or 4 trucks and service truck in a “parade”
Can you imagine how much time is lost waitin on each other to get in “parade position”
I guess they do it so they think they control the road ?
Anyway it is just plain stupid for them and the other road users
Heads up , The parade doesn’t impress anyone

All that new shiny depreciating iron has to look good going down the road don’t you know.

It’s all about the show!!

I got the finger on Sat night when I honked at a person, she didn't quite understand I was honking because she was sitting in my laneway when I was hauling bales...next time maybe no honk just a sorry officer I didn't see her trespassing there.

It’s probably better for the oncoming traffic when you meet them. Pull over, let them all go by at once and carry on
