Well, the good news is these things have a pretty low top speed, so I think you'd be able to dodge out of the way.

Tractors gave top speeds over 20 mph. If i was on foot, i would not call that "low"

and if they have to swerve to hit you they're going to roll. they are not stable vehicles at speed.

slow enough to run to the left / right if you see it coming, since the turning radius is pretty wide.
