This week the fall and spring Driver’s Ed classes went and observed the Henry County Farm Bureau “Share the Road” presentation. They were able to observe blind spots in multiple vehicles and pieces of farm equipment. They learned what safe following distances are when following SMV vehicles. They were able to partake in a seat belt convincer activity, held by the Illinois State police.
They also were able to try out a sprayer simulator that was brought to the presentation by FS. This was a great representation of how difficult it can be for those big pieces of machinery to move over in various situation and around different obstacles.
It was an excellent presentation and representation of what these new drivers should be looking for and how to handle different situations as we enter this years harvest season.
Be careful out there and share the road!
