To your tractor you have attached a hay turning machine that projects a long way to the back. Who could be endangered by this when you take a left turn?

When taking a left turn with a tractor that has a hay turning machine attached, it is crucial to consider the safety of other road users.

Selecting vehicles that have pulled in alongside you to your right is correct because as you turn left, the extended equipment can encroach into their lane, potentially causing a collision. These vehicles could be caught off guard if they are not aware of your turning maneuver.

Additionally, pedestrians on the right-hand side of the road are also at risk. As you turn left, the equipment may sweep into the pedestrian walkway, putting individuals in harm's way.

It's important to recognize both of these risks to ensure everyone's safety while navigating roadways. Ignoring any party that could be endangered can lead to serious accidents, which is why the German traffic regulations emphasize the importance of being aware of all surrounding road users when making turns.
