I was headed out to chisel plow yesterday morning and got by a damn car. I left the farm headed north, flashers on, SMV sign visible, went a 1/4 mile to my turn and as got hit making a left turn by a kid in an 80s camaro thinking he's Burt Reynolds. It is a passing lane there, but I had the right of way. I used my blinker when making the turn, saw him approaching in my mirror, still in the right lane so I crept over to take the road and make it known that I was turning. He tried going through the shoulder on the far left of the road as I was mid turn. Bam. Hits the left rear of my plow. No seat belts for him or passenger. I call 911, they dispatch state trooper and first responder. Driver was ok, they were concerned that his passenger might have had a concussion. They were checking her out when the trooper said I could head on my way. Trooper told me the kid was getting multiple tickets. No damage to my rig. Messed up his bumper, grill, fender and hood. Eye witness following him saw the whole thing and stayed to give a statement.
So please, watch out. It is that time of year again.
How he thought he was going around me still baffles me.
