Had to check some other locations too, in case we get a detour, or decide at the last minute to go see some tourist attraction.
As far as I know, our vehicle will be legal in two of the states we'll be travelling in, but sometimes there are local laws which make it illegal to have a vehicle (SUV) like ours, or to have some particular feature, such as four wheel drive, or dual exhaust pipes. If we took the other vehicle, it would be legal in three states, but it isn't as reliable, so I don't want to have to choose the dangerous one just to be in compliance with a stupid law against high-capacity fuel tanks.
Problem is, "intent" is no excuse if you mess up, and most of the violations are felonies. Some of them mean loss of your driver's license for LIFE, and loss of your vehicle, and the right to own any other vehicles for LIFE.
Even some hotels have signs posted saying they don't honor driver's licenses, and if you unwittingly go on their property with your vehicle, you'll not only get thrown out, but often arrested as well, and it all goes on your record.
I can see regulations like this might vary over the nation concerning something like GUNS, where the morality of self defense and the principles of gun safety are so clearly different depending on the longitude and latitude, but gosh, with driving, there aren't ANY places where the driving conditions or traffic vary, whether you're in New York City rush hour, or up in the Rockies in a blizzard with a trailer. Same thing as far as equipment - some guns are just more DANGEROUS in warmer climates, or where there is high humidity, but there's really no difference in pulling a 6-horse trailer behind a Suburban, and crusing along in a Corvette, now is there?
Oh well, back to the net to check the traffic laws.
...........oops!
Guess I got guns and cars mixed up...!
Didn't get it utill the end.
