Bucky welcome to the land of HOAs and old retired people with enough money to pretty much do what they want....I am older than most on here but some just won't admit that these motor vehicle laws are flawed in many ways. If you followed every single law and regulation concerning your motor home you would be camping in your driveway----wait, the HOA won't allow it in your driveway!!!!! Some people need to just get a life........flame on folks, I got to roll my over weight, overlength, wrong drivers license mess out of here to enjoy my weekend with a bunch of likewise folks......

Okay, so how long should trailers be allowed to be in your humble opinion? There is only one law in this thread that anybody has given any example of that is being actively enforced by anybody, and that is the 53' single trailer limit. And the only story provided about enforcement has been against the NHRA racers who decided they can have 56 foot trailers even though they knew good and well they were illegal in most every state. And they were warned in advance about the trailers and chose to ignore that warning and so the law got enforced on them. Please tell us the flaw in that law? Should there be a limit on how long a trailer should be? How about 60 feet or 70 feet? Sure they'll be knocking cars off the road and taking down the traffic signals every time they try and turn a corner, but we don't want any flawed laws to prohibit that. Heck how about just having a 100 foot long trailer and pull it behind my 75 foot long custom Toterhome? Would that eliminate those flawed laws?

As I said above: how much above the posted speed limit should be allowed? Should all laws be inforced equally?

When I was a cop I allowed either 10 or 15 over the limit depending on the type of road. So should the CHP then allow 10 or 15 feet over the length limit of a 53' trailer? How about the law says 53', most every state has the same law, so the NHRA guys don't intentionally ignore the law?

Why enforce one law differently than another? Chip on your shoulder for one group? I can't remember. Speed kills or length kills?
