THE disgraceful road rage attack on the female tractor driver (September 8) raises another issue. Why is the Crockey Hill farmer sending an agricultural vehicle on 40mph-plus round trips on the highway? Surely it is a job for a heavy lorry.

It is certainly not an isolated trip as regular users of the A19 to and from Selby will confirm.

Let's hope Jayne Cooper gets over her terrifying experience soon.
