In the event of a breakdown, where is the best place to position your farm vehicle?

Positioning your farm vehicle in a safe area away from traffic is crucial during a breakdown. This choice ensures that both the vehicle and its occupants are out of harm's way and reduces the risk of accidents. By placing the vehicle in a location with minimal traffic exposure, drivers can safely assess the situation, make phone calls for assistance, or wait for help without the added stress of being near passing vehicles.

Selecting a safe area typically means moving the vehicle off the main roadway to the shoulder or a designated pull-off area if available, which enhances visibility for other motorists and prevents your vehicle from becoming a hazard. This approach prioritizes safety for everyone involved, including those driving by, rather than risking an accident by remaining too close to active traffic or obstructing roadways.
