A chara, - I drive on country roads regularly, especially in the evening. I am horrified by the number of farmers driving tractors, sometimes with no trailers, that have no lights or hardly any lights. I passed five last Friday evening driving from Athlone to Lahinch. Do they not realise how hard it is to see them, particularly at dusk? I think that the Department of Agriculture and the IFA should ensure all farmers have an orange flashing light on top of all farm vehicles. If it saved one life the measure would be worthwhile. - Is mise,
