Farmers' tractors / tractor + trailer combo

It really all comes down to entitlement. Car users seem to think they should have greater entitlement to the roads than others. See it all the time... usually though in scenarios where the motorist thinks lorries should be banned during the day because they are only doing 50 in a 60

I appreciate what you are saying here, but this question is not really about my use of the road as a driver. It's about excessive (and seemingly unnecessary) movement of heavy machinery on a narrow road. I hardly drive, and all driving around here needs to have compromise with other users - that's expected. No sense of entitlement at all.

I think this is the para that covers it.

"where the vehicle is a tractor and it is designed and constructed primarily for off-road use and its use on a public road is for agricultural purposes";

What is even funnier is people with nothing better to do than be difficult or critical of an evening.

Try being constructive could you?
