Boat Trailer Towing Speed Discussion
Calif Bill wrote:
I try to stay within 10 mph of the speed limit. Above that the gendarmes seem to take a greater notice. Since the speedlimit for vehicles towing in California, I try to stay between 65-70 on the open freeway. That keeps me only passing a semi once in a while. There also are width limits on trailer rigs in some states that are narrower than those in other states. These limits sometimes are "enforced" by cops at launch ramps, with tickets written up to boat owners who do not have the necessary over-width permit. Some bridge authorities are enforcing "width" rules on their structures. There's a bridge around here where the authorities do that. If you have an extra wide boat, they won't let you tow it across the bridge. |
