Does something happen to the tractor or was that deliberate?

It does look like it was deliberate. That driver was incredibly lucky. I can't imagine the feeling seeing that thing veer towards you all of a sudden. No time to do anything.

Yet more piss-poor sentencing. You should never get behind the wheel again after that.

Unbelievable that the driver walked away from that.

Did he get bale?

Really should have been a custodial sentence IMO.

[PHZero]

Not that I know anything about sentencing guidelines, but surely some jail time should have been handed out given the circumstances. That's an absolutely brutal RTA for the Audi (Honda) driver.

[Hugo Stiglitz]

Wow. What were the defendants representations?

Bravo

[Haltamer]

Anyone noticing the car behind continuing to blindly follow the tractor along at the same following distance whilst it veers into oncoming traffic, mounts the car and rolls over with zero reaction?

He did get a custodial sentence, just it was suspended.

OK pedant, I think he should be locked up, but you knew that’s what I meant
