Traffic laws is yet another example of farmers being in some parallel universe.
Modern tractors and trailers can be physically bigger than articulated lorries, they easily do 40 to 50mph and can have GVW of 31 ton. and these can be driven at the age of 17 on a provisional licence (no need to pass test)
they are absolutely terrifying on minor roads - they just do whatever they like

You could say the same for mopeds, horses, bicycles.
btw you are mistaking high speed tractors with standard tractors.
most can't go more than 20mph.

- Width under 2.55m = Max speed 25mph/40kmph
- Width 2.55m and over but under 3.5m = Max speed 20mph/32kmph
- Width 3.5m and over = Max speed 12mph/19kmph

IIRC, Lambo started when Mr Lambo (manufacturer of tractors at the time) got pizzed off with the shoddy nature of his Ferrari.
"I could do better!" he said, and the Lambo car brand was born.......
To avoid pulling dust kicked up by the tyres into the intake, apparently. Took Mrs filly on a land rover tuition day and after going through a water trough I asked what the max depth of water is safe, he said roughly 60cms, He laughed at me when I asked how much deeper you could go with a snorkel.
Surf's up!
They should also not be allowed the road unless they wash and clean the mud off the tyres first.
Liberal townie sheep seem to be out in force. It's like some kind of Pavlovian response. Government wants them primed to find racism everywhere and shout it out like dippy first year sociology students. This week it's villify the farmer because they're all minted, tax avoiding, far right, kiddy-fiddling scum.
Wonder who Two Tier will encourage them to target next week.

No, Kier Starlin made being a farmer and not being absolutely destitute virtually a hanging offence.
It's open season on anyone with green wellies and a few acres.

Probably not but vandalism is
The bow wave from the tractor was seen striking shops and homes either side of the street.
Several business owners said their windows had been smashed, causing further flood damage.
A.H. Caldicott & Sons shared footage of water bursting through its front door after the vehicle passed the shop front during Sunday's flooding.
Clearly not, but why not drive the tractor sufficiently slow enough to prevent harm to other people? I am not suggesting that the driver was intentionally doing harm, but he did.
Tractor had no need to go at that speed just some young farmer out to get some likes on his socials. The shop keepers should definitely claim if there is provable further damage.

A few years ago a tractor towing a slurry tank fired up the sprayer whilst driving through town, how everyone laughed
