I got stuck behind a tractor on the B9001 Inverurie / Rothienorman road, I was in the middle of about 15 cars. We had driven about 6 miles before he drew in to a farmyard. This makes my blood boil....and is becoming a regular ocurance.

Many moons ago when I worked in Plant Hire, and drove JCB's for a living. Once I was driving my digger up the A84 towards Callander, I got pulled over by a Traffic cop, and got a severe ear bashing, and was told never to have any more than 5 or 6 cars behind me, and let traffic pass at every available opportunity.
It now looks like tractor drivers can do what they like and getaway with it.

Rant over!!

As far as I'm aware that only applies in England

I'm sure the Traffic Cop would be well aware of road traffic act law!
