Question 1090 in the bank

How should you do in the event that the tractor rolls over?

  1. Jump off the tractor as quickly as possible when it starts to roll-over.
  2. Call for help and try to stabilize the tractor during roll-over.
  3. Hit the brakes and try to reduce the roll-over impact.
  4. Correct answer: Hold the steering wheel tightly and stay as close as possible to it.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: Hold the steering wheel tightly and stay as close as possible to it.

During a rollover, do not jump off the tractor, because the driver may be crushed under it. Holding the steering wheel tightly and staying close to it keeps the body inside the protected area of the safety frame or the cab, especially when the driver is wearing a seat belt. Trying to brake or to stabilise the tractor is not effective once the rollover has started.
