Quote HistoryQuoted: Amazing. The SC crowd states why it is needed but the rest of GD who doesn’t deal with it squeal. It’s unsafe, period. I’ve seen it firsthand more than once. It’s a shame it took a law to correct a common sense issue. But, here we are… |

Do we need to discuss how when you operate a vehicle on Public roads then yes it is reasonable to pass laws and regulations to ensure their safe use as intended.
If you think this law is dumb. Then how come I can’t decide to use a highway as my own personal shooting range? Or shut it down in protest! You are still welcome to squat your truck on your own private property. |

This was not a defined safety issue and thus, needed a definition added to it.
