PSB from the Vermont State Police

Posted on their FaceBook page today:

==============================================
The Vermont State Police would like to remind motorists to have patience and use caution when approaching farm equipment on Vermont roads. With the second hay cut approaching, there will be an increased presence of farm equipment on our public highways. Following these simple tips will keep our farmers, their equipment and you safe:

- Leave space and don稚 tailgate: Tractors are not equipped with turn signals and farmers often have to turn without warning. Allow a safe distance between you and the farm equipment so the farmer has the space and time needed to maneuver the equipment.

- Watch for hand signals: An operator of farm equipment may use hand signals in an effort to inform approaching motorists of their actions. A large piece of equipment may need to veer to the right in order to make a left turn.

- Visibility: Don稚 assume the farmer knows youæ±*e there. The size and height of farm equipment can make it difficult or obstruct a farm operatorç—´ view.

- Pass safely: Use extreme caution, yield to on-coming traffic and pass slowly. Watch for vehicles approaching from behind that may also be trying to pass.

- Equipment Operators: Vermont law requires slow moving vehicles to drive as close to the right-hand side of the roadway as they safely can, and requires drivers to pull over at their first opportunity if theyæ±*e impeding the flow of traffic.

Remember to share the road! #TrafficSafetyTuesday

Thanks #VSP for remembering our Farmers and other AG related peoples.

Is the state speed limit (unless posted otherwise) still 50mph. ?

Ayuh.

And passing is not disallowed on a double yellow...

And concealed carry is allowed without a permit.

Why was it that you left??

Could be the people’s republic of Vermont has gotten completely out of control by banning semiautomatic rifles, magazines greater than 10 rounds, and now will fine anyone without healthcare insurance, especially those that can’t afford it. At least a 15% upcharge just for the pleasure of living in the PRVT when you compare sales tax and income tax.
But weed is legal, and for things like groceries and doctors a quick trip over the border to NH will keep things semi livable for older folks, but is driving out the next generation so everything will be unsustainable within 10 years.
Vermont is losing its young people faster than NY and NJ.
I hope socialism tastes good - pretty soon it will be all there is to eat with all of the dairy farmers closing shop.

Not quite. No ban on semis (just bump stocks), and the 10 round mag law is no NEW sales after Oct 1. But you are allowed to possess them even after then.

... and now will fine anyone without healthcare insurance, especially those that can稚 afford it.

Vermont was among the first, but that is nationwide now.

Probably compared to some states, but less than others, and a depends on how you live (high/low income versus lot/little property or possessions)

No, it tastes pretty bad. I'm not happy with the political direction our State has gone, but it's still a great place to live.
