Road ignorance causes chaos

Would the driver of a green tractor with blue trailer (registration number supplied), please take note - you do not own the road.

On Friday, June 15, between 4.30pm and 5pm, you pulled out onto the island by Carnelian Motors in Shrewsbury without any indication of where you were going, resulting in other road users not knowing where you were heading and causing confusion.

You then turned and went in the direction of Wem with no indication and proceeded on the Wem road at about 35mph, which was fine except it resulted in a backlog of about 30 cars.

I thought farmers had a courteous code to pull in and let cars pass, not this one.

There are pull-in places all down that road but not once did you make an effort, resulting in two cars risking overtaking, but others had to follow you at 35mph all the way to Wem town.

You didn't even signal when it was safe for them to pass, no-one could see as you had a trailer on the back, it took half-an-hour to get from the island to Wem thanks to your ignorance.

As you entered Wem by the church you stopped at the junction where it is clearly marked to stay back to let oncoming traffic around - havoc again.

Then you approached the White Lion turning and caused chaos as you rounded the corner and took up all the road resulting in cars having to back up and some with nowhere to go, again all this with no indicators.

This dangerous behaviour is totally unacceptable, especially as farmers are the first to complain about everything.
