The Dongshi Branch calls on agricultural machinery vehicles to pay attention to vehicle operation and driving safety when driving on roads, and to confirm that the vehicles comply with relevant road traffic regulations. Especially in mountainous areas, road width and terrain changes are large. Drivers must slow down and pay attention to road conditions at all times to ensure the safety of themselves and other road users.
