With harvest season either underway or imminent, authorities have issued several safety reminders for drivers.

Motorists are advised to pay attention and avoid distractions while driving. Special caution is needed when encountering slow-moving vehicles marked with flashing amber lights. Authorities stress the importance of slowing down in these situations.

Passing should be done with extreme caution. It remains illegal to pass in no-passing zones or within 100 feet of an intersection. Patience is also emphasized, as farmers may not always be able to move over to let motorists pass.

"If you cannot see the driver, the driver cannot see you," officials warn. They remind drivers that everyone on the road is somebody’s family member.

The message concludes with a call for safety and well-wishes for a bountiful harvest: "Slow and steady will win the race! Be safe this harvest season! We are hoping for a bountiful harvest for all!"
