Agree with the OP.

I live in a part of the country with LOADS of tractors on main roads. Although to be fair we don't really suffer 'rush hours' like many of you down the country do.

My pet hate is when a tractor drives on a 100kph road in the lane when there is a perfectly good and wide area to his left that he could pull into and drive along to let everyone pass.

You do realise it is illegal for tractors to drive on the hard shoulder even tho they do at times

Hopefully the tractor NCT being brought in next year will get most of the death traps of the road.

Will ya go way, banning tractors at rush hour? Every hour is rush hour for farmers. Theyre flat out making sure the city folk have milk for their skinny latte's and spring lamb legs for Sunday lunch with the girlos.

Yes and ban cyclists too while you're at it OP!

Sure what's the rush for anyway? All trying to get somewhere at the same time. Can you not plan your journeys properly? These farmers have vital work to do and need those roads more than you do.

You'll find most of the tractors on the road are contractors machines which are in most cases newish, well maintained, safe and will have no problem passing the new NCT

Ban the tractors indeed as it nigh on impossible to pass out a peloton of Lycras with all these road rules.

Most tractors I see on the road. Wouldn't have a hope in hell of passing the NCT.

Geez, around here at least 75% of them are only a few years old and in great condition.
The one's on the road 'at rush hour' are usually the contractors and are excellent machines.

Well then at least 25% of the tractors around your area wont be on the road anymore.

I hear the blue ones are very dangerous.... but that could just be the nut behind the wheel.

Them lads in the Dail shouldn't be allowed to drive their tractors to work.

If it's not red leave it in the shed.

Because they're rust buckets.

I see plenty of cars on the road regularly missing one or more lights.

Once they are safe it doesn't make any difference of the rust or not. Plenty of tractors last upto 50 years
