As planting season kicks into full gear across Dufferin County, the Dufferin Detachment of the OPP reminds motorists that agricultural equipment will once again be on the move. Drivers are urged to share the road and exercise extra caution around slow-moving vehicles and farm equipment. A little patience can go a long way in ensuring that everyone reaches their destination safely.
Motorists should reduce speeds and stay alert when traveling near farm vehicles and equipment. Every year, Dufferin OPP responds to incidents involving farm vehicles struck by inattentive or impatient drivers. These collisions often result in serious injury or even death and all of these accidents are preventable.
