Lacombe County farm vehicle safety inspections Apr. 10 & 11
LACOMBE COUNTY- The County will be hosting a two-day voluntary farm vehicle safety check at their public works shops located in the east and west sides of the County.
“The purpose of this check is to increase both the safety and the awareness of our agricultural industry as it relates to vehicle safety,” said Mark Sproule, Senior Community Peace Officer for Lacombe County. “We want to make sure our farmers and ranchers are not going to be stuck on the side of the road because of a breakdown – or worse yet, involved in an accident because of equipment failure.”
Under Alberta law, a farm vehicle is subject to the same vehicle equipment regulations as any other commercial vehicle.
Lacombe County’s goal is to work together with local producers to promote a positive image for the farming community.
