Geez. I hope the authorities put a big blinking light on that thing. I’d hate to run into it in the dark. Although maybe the picture is taken from the shoreline it unsuccessfully tried to join.
I have often said:
Everyone is good for something.
Me? I’m a bad example.
Which actually has a couple layers of meaning if you dig into it.
Many states have farm exemptions that permit one to operate farm equipment on roads, but only within very limited circumstances (usually either crossing the road or short trips between non-contiguous properties). The requirements are fairly strict and usually limited to equipment and vehicles that are clearly intended for agricultural or husbandry purposes, but I could see a pick-up truck fitting under some of the definitions.
Going to the store, though? Doubt it. Maybe to Tractor Supply…
I have a relative with legit Ag plates. His truck doesn’t require insurance or inspection, but has to stay within so many miles of its “home address” and is supposed to be used only for ag related stuff. NH
If it’s ever driven on public roads I would imagine it would have to have some sort of insurance. It may be covered under their general farm insurance, I would guess. I don’t really know I’m totally WAGing here. I’d imagine farm truck insurance is incredibly cheap.
For me, it’s actual Sov-cities I think of first, as an old Judge Dredd fan.
Following the war’s devastation, the survivors became known as the Sov-Block and, until after 2100, Sov-Cities . Moscow-St-Petersburg was renamed “East Meg” after the war, starting a trend.[6]
But as time moves away from my prime JD reading days, and the SC loonies become move prevalent, I have less of this response, or the Soviet Citizen response above.
What amuses me about the sovcits who whine to the police about travelling and not driving is that the motor vehicle code refers to operating a motor vehicle on the public roads, doesn’t it? That should be a fairly simple conversation:
LEO: May I see your license, registration, and proof of insurance?
SovCit: I don’t need it. I’m travelling, not driving?
LEO: Travelling? Okay, how are you travelling? Are you operating this motor vehicle?
SovCit: Of course.
LEO: Congratulations! You’re under arrest. Get out of the car.
LEO: May I see your license, registration, and proof of insurance?
SovCit: I don’t need it. I’m travelling, not driving?
LEO: Travelling? Okay, how are you travelling? Are you operating this motor vehicle?
SovCit: It is not a motor vehicle, it’s my personal property.
Read these 387 pages of documents that includes my fee schedule for this illegal stop.
Call you’re supervisor.
Call your supervisor’s supervisor.
I only accept the authority of the Sheriff.
(And on, and on, and on.)
Officer: “Joind this, Sir” as he grabs you by the lapels and drags you out of the car and onto the ground.
I generally do not favor police getting physical early, but sometimes it’s obvious the sensible part of the conversation is going nowhere and escalation is then warranted.
So autoloan lenders in NH let you risk totaling a non-yet fully paid for vehicle? What happens if the car is totaled and the driver has injured someone? DO they get sued into eternity?
Can other states mandate that in order to drive within their boundaries that a visiting vehicle must be insured, in order to protect their states’ drivers from loss? I
