MadRhino said:Yep. It is not the rules that politicians vote that matters, it is the rules that are applied by the police on the streets. Generally, they apply traffic laws and care little about the specific regulations of vehicles.

Got some smiles and thumbs up from some cops though. This has to do with the long white ponytail I'm sure. I'm riding with the old fart exemption now. Plus, riding at the speed limit on the correct side of the street and stopping at stop signs does help how law enforcement sees you. When a car smashes you like a bug, they will scrape you up seems to be the attitude, if you stay on the street.
When I was a punk, cops needed only to see my face to pull me over, and check my turn signals, tread depth, whatever they could think of to give me a ticket. Yeah, I earned that status as a Juvenile and had to cool it once I was 18.
