DMV Crackdown - Page 2

Maybe someone could get Steve to call me. Maybe a model after the Florida over length law. $15 yearly, up to 95 ft, available over the net. Might be a good compromise. Florida is up to 65' I think. NC seems to have a habit of doing these sort of things. Last time I had an issue for a racer, I got lots of response from the NC Dept of Tourism. They seem to understand the big picture.

Stacie,
Tell Lambert to be careful with his CDL. State workers in NC have CDL that is only good when driving NC state owned vehicles.

Has anybody have any updated information on this issue????????????

I just got off the phone with the NC Permit department and the Hightway road enforcement. Both confirmed at this time it is 60 foot with a ball type hitch. Tickets are $130 and you must leave the state or you could get ticketed again. This is what Sgt. Rigsbee told me. He said they are trying to work on this project and have been in touch with Florida DOT to find out how they have handled the overlength trucks.

This is an important thread to keep up on top. Charlotte is just next month and we need to be prepaired.

I spoke to Steve this morning and sent him all the info I had including my Florida permit which is $20 per year and available over the net. Steve has already been in touch with NC Tourism who seem to grasp the situation more than NC DOT. I would suggest filing a complaint with NC Tourism. They seem to respect the yankee and confederate dollar. I think Steve heads the NC Motorsports Association and this will probably need some help in the NC Legislature. Of course, there is always the Gov.

I just sent an email to the governor of NC protesting the action, and an email to Graham Light asking NHRA to get the Bruton Smith people to help. I would encourage all the racers to complain to NC also. Can you imagine all the sportsman on the side of the road on the way to the first Charlotte race?

Too bad this situation does not effect the NASCAR guys, then
you would really hear some screaming and the DMV and the
chamber of commerce people bending over backwards to help
solve this problem.

But I would guess most or all of their rigs are the normal over
the road big rigs, not Motorhomes/toterhomes with tag trailers.

Don't know about NASCAR, but I know John Force Racing use his Motor Home to tow a small stacker. I'm sure other pros do the same. Of course they have a sponser to pay the fine. Div 1 tows a tag that would be over 60 ft. I don't know about Div 2.You also have NHRA trailers towed to Nats. Credential, Tech Safety Safari etc

I am going to contact the Family Motor Coach Assoc. and see what there take is on this. Most Motor Homes flat towing a car would be affected by this. The more groups that get envolved the better chance of something happening
