Tractor Driving Schools

According to research on general tractor safety by Purdue University (PU), an estimated 500 to 600 people in the United States alone die due to tractor-related accidents every year. A Colorado State University study claims 300 to 400 tractor-related deaths happen annually, up to half as many as PU estimates. However, both sources confirm that tractor upsets or overturns cause 50 percent of tractor-related deaths. These types of accidents could be avoided if drivers learn the proper know-how on safely operating these types of equipment.
