Just to remind everyone if they do have to ride to be extra careful. On a 4 mile round trip to the shop on country back roads I saw a milk tanker and a tractor and slurry tanker both going faster than normal and seeming oblivious to other traffic. 2 cars. 1 rolling a cigarette the other on the phone 1 mini bus doing a u turn 1 woman with a dog walked out in front of me without looking

stay safe

good point, people are going to be getting a bit too relaxed at having no traffic about.

cheers

It is very different when you have to go out for the weekly shop you can drive a mile or so before you see a car. so not a great surprise people are not taking the usual effort to look out for people. Daft thing is this is now when you need to look more then ever.

4.5 miles to work I saw 1 car this morning easy to get complacent about driving, on a brighter note I got the wide wheels on my tractor (3 mtr’s wide) makes it a lot easier to get about

3 metres WIDE? That's nine feet nine inches in English, no wonder you find it easy to get about .

He's driving Big foot!

One assumes that's overall vehicle width .....

Could he have meant 3 metres diameter? That's still bloody mahoosive.

The tractor's 3 metres wide not the tyres.

Feeling quite lucky that i have 38 miles of twisty roads on the way home!
