Transcript
Hit a tractor or grain cart at night? Here's who usually pays. The driver behind is usually blamed first. Their liability pays the farm, and collision pays for their own car. In Iowa, slow farm equipment needs a slow-moving-vehicle emblem, and a red rear light after dark. Missing ones can shift the blame. Photograph the lights and emblem before anything moves, and get the farm's insurance details. State rules vary, so check your limits. Compare free quotes at autoinsurancebundle.pro.
