In Massachusetts the max legal towing speed is 55 mph. 65 mph in FL is listed in several online sources in addition to this one: http://www.hitchemup.com/statetowinglaws.htm I am not sure I have ever seen that enforced. Would that include semi trailers? If so it is definitely ignored. There are semis going 80 every day on I-70 and 70 on the 2 lane blacktops (with 60 MPH limits). I also see plenty of regular trailers going over 70 on the interstate without much attention from the cops. I also believe the counties around me are "tags optional" since I see trailers without one a lot and occasionally cars and trucks. When I said something to the part time cop who worked for IBM he just laughed and said it was not something they were told to "police". He did get a kick out of the "tags optional" line tho and said he would start using it. He also liked "speeder maid" to describe state troopers. Evidently there is a bit of animosity between them and the deputies. He was an aux deputy (but "sworn") at the Charlotte sheriff department and was the senior officer there. (as a volunteer). None of the full time had more years on the force. The newly elected sheriffs tend to clean house when they take over and there was a lot of churn in Charlotte county. |
