Drive safely

Indiana State Police this week issued a reminder regarding driving safety during the harvest season.

Police offered the following tips:

•If you see agricultural equipment on the roadways, slow down.

•Large agricultural equipment makes slower and wider turns than passenger vehicles.

•Farm equipment is wide and can take up most of the road. Use caution when passing.

•When following slow-moving agricultural equipment, exercise patience.

•Be aware that agricultural equipment may be moving on the roadways at night.

•Farmers should look for a wide pullover location to allow backed up traffic to safely pass.

•Farmers, before heading out of the field and onto the roadway, ensure all rear facing warning lights are working properly, and any SMV triangles are clearly visible.
