Does the police hassle drivers for driving below speed limits
Ignoramus2215 wrote: That Series II Bridgeport mill weighs 5000 lbs, plus or minus. My trailer axles are 6,000 lbs, which means that I will be slightly above the rating. The easiest way from the seller would be on a highway, which is actually a decently paved highway. In any case, I would like to drive slowly, like 40-45 miles an hour, this way I would get the best of both worlds, safe slow driving and highway quality road. My question is, how likely will the police be to hassle me for driving too slowly, if, say, the lowest speed limit is 45 and I am going 40. Considering how they ignore granny doing 45 in the left lane barely seeing over the steering wheel, I expect you'd be fine in the far right lane with hazard flashers on paying attention to what you're doing. You could also rent a two axle equipment trailer from United Rentals or similar for about $60 with ~8,000# of cargo capacity. |

The mill will stay on the trailer for a few days, I cannot use a rental. i |

IMU, delay of 5 or more vehicles, state or LA highway will get you popped. Indiana has a law requiring a driver to move over and allow vehicles to pass if he's obstructing more than *three*. Hardly anyone knows this. Including the police. :-( |

It's like the Aesop fable about the man and the
bag of grain on a donkey. Someone came by, and gave him a rebuke about all that weight on the donkey. So, the old man shrugged, and hefted the bag of grain onto his own shoulders and kept riding. -- Christopher A. Young Learn more about Jesus www.lds.org .. "Ignoramus2215" wrote in message ...

The 318 had just a little more power than the 225... :-) In 1968 the 3580 lb Belvedere V8 wagon had 230hp, for 15.56 lb/hp while in 69 the 2550 lb 225 Dart Custom 4 door put out 145 HP for 17.58 lb/HP. So not a REAL BIG performance difference. Something like 13%? |

Hardly anyone knows this. Including the police. :-( Is that a new law or a fairly old law? I left Indiana in 1975 for good, days after graduating highschool. That's when I graduated, too... It was on the books when I learned to drive. At that point in my life, there wasn't much chance of anyone keeping up to be behind me. California's has been on the books forever, and IIRC if you have a parade of six or more behind you, pull over and let them by. But common sense says to do it after one or two when you find a good spot, and more urgently with three plus behind you... Because if any one of those drivers gets impatient (and they will!) one of them is going to try a bonehead move like passing over the blind crest of a hill... Then you see the SEMI coming the other way with a car passing him... Now you're the Dead Meat in the middle of a four-car sandwich with no place to go. Trust me, that is NOT a good place to be. I drove a 1968 Dodge Dart with a 225 slant six... Which means it was good for 104 MPH. Still not too many going to be wanting to pass. (my '69 did 104 for an hour straight across the corner of Wyoming) You want a slug, my 62 IH Scout with the Continental 152 and either 4.11 or 4.27 gears. Take the 304 (great motor) and chop off one bank. One of my customers still has the Dart GTS with the 340 CID sleeper motor in it as her Daily Driver. Little Old Lady from Studio City... Twice she's tried relegating it to Spare Car and buying a newer car, having computer problems or other modern stupidity with the new car where it was spending weeks at the dealer. Then selling it off and going back to the Dart, and that little bugger still purrs like a kitten - till you let it growl... More power to her. -- Bruce -- |
