Drivers urged to take care on country roads

With the summer season, brings an influx of farming machinery taking to our roads. These tractors, while undertaking important work, can pose potential dangers for standard road users.

Here at the Tipperary Times, we are urging road users to take care when passing farm vehicles, especially on smaller roads and not to overtake unless it is safe to do so.

Motorists will have to be especially vigilant as the silage season means tractors will be driving on roads from morning to night as they try to take advantage of the good weather. Always expect the unexpected and stay safe.
