ATTENTION Hoosier Motorists: Spring is here, the green color is back, the birds are out, and so is agricultural equipment. The Indiana State Police and Indiana Department of Agriculture reminds motorists to be patient and note that farm equipment is wide and can take up most of the road. When passing - do so in a safe manner and in a designated passing zone. When initiating a pass to overtake the agriculture equipment in front of your vehicle, ensure that it's not turning left. Farmers will pull over to allow motorists to pass, but be patient as they locate a safe place to do so. And finally, allow plenty of time to get to your destination especially on narrower and congested roadways.
