The law as current has been on the books since 1983. The only thing that appears to be "new" is a stepping up of enforcement when it comes to three-axled diesel motorhomes. Maybe owners of other three-axle vehicle types started making noise or something.
Frankly, it really looks to me like a case of three-axle diesel RV's having just slipped through the cracks all these many long years.
Once again no. I posted the text of this very law from 1998. In 1998 the statute specifically referenced "Passenger Carrying Vehicles designed to carry more than 20 passengers." Clearly, that is not a motorhome! Now for some reason they removed the 20 passenger part but they did not remove the "Passenger Carrying" part. So I'm still convinced this law doesn't apply to motorhomes at all even if they have three axles, and the people enforcing it are reading it wrong.
