FARM VEHICLE EQUIPMENT

A REVIEW IS MADE OF STATE LAWS REQUIRING LIGHTS, REFLECTORS AND EMBLEMS ON FARM TRACTORS AND IMPLEMENTS OF HUSBANDRY. MANY FARM VEHICLES OPERATE AT SPEEDS UNDER 25 MILES PER HOUR, AND ON ANY HIGHWAY WHERE OTHER TRAFFIC IS MOVING AT A SUBSTANTIALLY HIGHER SPEED, A FARM TRACTOR OR IMPLEMENT CONSTITUTES A SPECIAL DANGER. ACCEPTANCE OF CURRENT PROVISIONS IN THE UNIFORM VEHICLE CODE WOULD DIMINISH THIS DANGER BY REQUIRING FARM VEHICLES TO BE EQUIPPED WITH DEVICES PROVIDING ADVANCE WARNING OF BOTH THEIR PRESENCE AND CERTAIN OF THEIR OPERATING CHARACTERISTICS.
