[FED 387]

Seems to me that these "length" rules are all helter skelter!!!! One state says 85 feet ,the state right next door is 60 feet, next state over says 65 is OK then you drive back into your own state and your back to 70 feet. No rhyme or reason here. Now most everyone will drive on an Interstate going to a race nobody uses the local highways (also known as the back roads) unless you live locally ---less than 10 miles from the track so those vehicles(Interstate) are subject to an entirely different set of rules compared to the local state rules.
I fully understand states rights but many of these rules were written more than 30-40 years ago (1960-1970) BEFORE a lot of the Interstates were constructed when Motorhomes were not even thought of and trucks/semitrailers were really starting to move large volumes of freight. I understand that the States are hurting financially but this is like fishing in a rain barrel you have a captive audience and what may be legal in Ohio is not legal in Indiana but is legal in Illinois. They know it and they plan on taking full advantage of it!!! But in all fairness to the motoring public these rules need to be updated. This is "entrapment" at its finest.
Also regarding the post a little earlier about pigs--- most of the people I have met in law enforcement have a "Napolean complex", a real attitude problem, a power thing dominating thing if you can call it that over people. Don't even get me started on the whole police thing my blood pressure goes up about 40 points right away but back to reality this motorhome thing is totall overblown if it's not the drag racers its the stock car racers or the horse show people whatever... It's just not fair-- Comp 387
