Riesgos del vehiculo agricola
La menor velocidad y mayor volumen relativo aumentan riesgo de alcance y de mala apreciacion por otros conductores.
Los aperos y salientes obligan a valorar ancho util, radio de giro y estabilidad antes de entrar en via publica.
Visibilidad y prudencia
Es esencial revisar alumbrado, elementos reflectantes y limpieza de dispositivos para ser detectado con tiempo.
La prudencia aumenta en incorporaciones, cambios de sentido, giros a finca y circulacion nocturna o con barro.
Estado del conductor
La fatiga propia del trabajo agrario no debe trasladarse a la conduccion; un trayecto corto tambien exige plenas condiciones de atencion.
La prisa por entrar o salir de una finca no justifica incorporaciones sin visibilidad suficiente ni giros improvisados.
Key points
- Valorar volumen, aperos y velocidad reducida como riesgos propios.
- Cuidar al maximo visibilidad y senalizacion.
- No conducir con fatiga acumulada.
Exam traps
- Creer que la baja velocidad del tractor elimina la necesidad de extremar visibilidad.
- Confiar en la costumbre del trayecto y reducir observacion en incorporaciones o cruces.
