Hey Darren - are you old enough to drive yet? If not, this is a good time to practice your ford tractor rubbernecking technique. Us older guys have had our experience with seeing a ford tractor on the side of the road, and keeping our eye on the tractor not the road. Before you know it, you are craning your neck to see around the passenger side headrest and off in the distance you hear the moan of a car horn coming toward you. Work on the darting method, where you dart your eyes back and forth between the road and the tractor. Or try the coming and going method, where you drive with your periferal vision while looking at the tractor, until it is past your windshield, then fix on the rearview mirror driving again with your periferal vision, and watch the tractor shrink in the distance. Then there is the, "honey, did you hear that?" method which is popular with the married guys. This technique requires a little acting ability. You must be able to convincingly portray a man who cares about his family's safety in the car.
At first site of a tractor, say something like, "shhh...did you hear that? I better pull over and check it out." Then you manage to pull over, just beyond the tractor. This allows you to raise the hood on the car, so passengers in the car don't see you, and look past the hood on the right or left at the tractor. Stick with us and you will learn a lot young man!
