HENRY Co., Ill. (KWQC) - Student drivers in Henry County, Illinois spent the day learning about safe driving on rural roads.

The Share the Road program teaches students about the dangers of driving in rural communities and the farm equipment that they may share the road with.

Students took part in several stations and heard from local law enforcement and farmers who preach patience even when farming equipment slows you down.

“Farmers have a job to do, we have a job to do, we understand that you as the public have a place to get to, that you want to get to, we’re just asking that you be cautious to us,” said Jeff Burke, Operations Manager at Goldstars. “We’re trying to be cautious to the public as well, giving them space just as much as we’re asking for space.”
