What is a potential consequence of failing to use lights on old tractors at night?

Using lights on old tractors at night is essential for visibility and safety. When lights are not used, there is a significant reduction in the operator's ability to see the surrounding environment, as well as making it difficult for other road users to see the tractor. This lack of visibility greatly increases the likelihood of accidents as the tractor may not be seen until it is too late, leading to collisions with vehicles, pedestrians, or obstacles. Additionally, without proper lighting, the operator may not be able to identify hazards or navigate safely in low light conditions, further compounding the risk of accidents. Therefore, it is crucial for all tractors, regardless of age, to be equipped with and utilize functioning lights, especially when operating at night or in low visibility scenarios.
