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 |

Does the police hassle drivers for driving below speed limits
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 ...
