Remove the right of 16 year olds to drive them
And make a test mandatory the fact you can just jump in and away you go at 16 is mad

And behold there’s a death of a young lad in a tractor a few weeks back and NOW they start doing something about it.

Today’s 16 year old tractor drivers are next years lowered golf and bora shite box drivers – pumping out plumes of smoke and still not giving a fuck for the rules of the road or anyone else who uses it.

I’ll rephrase what I said previously.
Wouldn’t it be terrible if they were executed as a warning to others. And it would be even worse if their heads were mounted on spikes outside the plowing championship. Absolute awful if that were to happen. Terrible even

I bet on Facebook you have the usual suspects defending them.

We have been extremely lucky so far that accidents like what happened before Christmas are not common, the type of tractor now in use is light-years ahead of what someone like me started out in 20 years ago, there needs to be a proper test and separate license for these machines.
It’s madness that I need to get a license to pull a car trailer but anyone with a provisional license can hop into a tractor and drive down the road grossing 30 ton.
Just for some context that’s 8 ton less than a basic artic and 5 ton more than a 3 axle Ridgid

There’ll be 0 consequences for them, their parents or the tractor owners. Culchies will be lining up to say it’s grand sure.

16 is young but they’re legally allowed drive on the roads but obviously not while on their phones. Go stop a few more lads on e-scooters absolute liabilities

This is the grey area of tractors. Being 16 and driving a modern tractor that has the power to bulldoze anything in front of it, then they attach 20 tonne of stone in an enormous trailer, also without a trailer licence, they seems to skirt around this rule. The won’t even know if they hit a person. Just because it’s a tractor doesn’t mean you can drive it on open roads towing.
The law should specify use on the farm only until full licence is obtained.
