Is there some way I can make my tractor more visible?

Your sons truck is of note in this picture. Tractor is not normally parked there and she is very careful near the sons truck.

I might be on your wife’s side! 😂

#4 Get her to back INTO the garage. That way she can just 'get in and go'.....

grandaughter USED to backup into out driveway from road. Told her it's bad, especilay since we're the hidden driveway on a curve ,inurance won't cover any accidents and.. I'll pay you $5 every time you do back in.

She made 100s off me...

I remember you saying this another time. Isn't there a statute of limitations of how long you have to keep giving her the $5? My experience is that most women don't know how to use mirrors or back up cameras, and the back up alarms are just an anoyance to them.

We had a lady drive past a line of vollies car's all with blue lights flashing, a quarter mile of cones/flares and proceed to run into the back of a large yellow fire engine with mile of reflective tape, and enough flashing red, white and blue lights to roast a chicken at 100 paces.
Told the state trooper that she never saw the engine and tried to blame the fire department for parking on the pavement. Nobody hurt.

That's waaay beyond the realm of, "it just happens". That's solidly in, "you are such a complete idiot you should not be trusted with a driver licence" territory.

We have gotten way too good at excusing utter incompetence.

Every time I read this thread title, all I can think is:

"The tractor will be more visible if you stop polishing it in the garage, and take it out and use it were people will see it!"

LOL...But I have no control of thoughts that pop up in my head... 🤪
