The Association of Farm & Forestry Contractors in Ireland (FCI) is urging all contractors to take a zero tolerance approach to the sharing of TikTok type tractor motion videos on social media sites, including Facebook and others, during this year’s silage harvest which has just begun in some areas of the country.
FCI says it is aware of the growing problem of mainly younger tractor drivers in contractor fleets who are breaking the law, and putting their lives and the lives of other road users at risk, by using smartphones for creating videos while driving tractors.
