I am sure no one in here has ever exceeded the maximum legal speed limit
on our Interstates, so we don't even need to consider the thought that
anyone would ever exceed the legal speed.

Here is the maximum speed limits for cars in the US.

You will notice that trucks in many states have a lower speed limit than
cars.

That is a useful link. Looks like I'm not legal :-) I'm towing a 19
1/2 bowrider that probably weighs with trailer 2500 or so in NC and I
don't have no stinkin brakes. Suppose there is a grandfather clause
on that law? Or did they expect everyone that didn't have brakes to
run out and get them? I'm using a toy-yoyo tundra so at least I'm way
below it's capacity.


The link has incorrect information. The brake limit in NC is 4,000#
http://www.ncga.state.nc.us/EnactedL...GS_20-124.html

Another hot-bed of non-compliance is likely the 8' width restriction
in NJ, PA, and VA.

A 2500# boat is probably sitting on a 1000# trailer. It doesn't take
much in the way of fuel and gear to get that load up over 4000#.

Thanks Gene! I was afraid I'd have to find another state to move to. Whew!
