But, yes, absolutely YES, I am gonna let loose and have fun on my journey because I feel I earned it, baby. It took me a long time to get here in my life and I'm going to enjoy every moment of my roadtrip and my new life to the "fullest extent of the law". (yes, Kit, no further than that ) But if we do get crazy, we'll take pics, ok?

Y'all have a wonderful day and be safe.

B...b...buh...b... but you said we'd <mumble, mumble> and <mumble, murmble>!!!
*huff*
Oh, and...
If we do get crazy, *no* pictures- c'mon, you know better than to incriminate yourself that way!!! (welllll at least not pics that'll go up here... )
If you do it right, the law allows quite a bit...
just bear in mind all the little weird things-
a group of 4 or more in Eugene who are not wearing socks may be dispersed by the police as an "orgy". It's illegal to own certain things in certain states except as a 'novelty' like a... uh... cake topper or something...
In California it's illegal to peel onions in hotel rooms, and No unoccupied vehicle may exceed 60 miles per hour.
In Texas, it's *specifically* illegal to graffiti someone else's cow.

We could have some really interesting adventures outside the confines of the law without really doing anything bad...

..y'know...
if the urge struck...

No unoccupied vehicle may exceed 60 miles per hour.

i do wonder where that came from.

Towing laws.

Can't tow an unoccupied vehicle with another vehicle, because the in-tow won't have braking or steering and at higher speeds that could be a very bad problem.

Most folks call a tow truck these days, so that law is probably getting out of date. (us old folks remember the days of towing a friend's car with a rope. Man, talk about dangerous for everyone in the vicinity!)

Edit to add that tow bars (the kind pulling cars behind RV's) are a different kettle of fish as they control the in-tow.

i think its in phoenix, where if your doing this you can be pulled over and ticketed. the person in the vehicle being towed can be ticketed for tail gaiting and the tower gets a ticket also, but i don't remember what exactly its for. i think endangerment or illegal towing or something of the like.

and then there are the 97y.o. way-past-safe-elderly-folks who keep on driving. In many cases, I think we'd all be safer if we let the cat drive instead.

YOu mean like the ancient small person steering a cadillac down the florida freeway that passed my DH going more than 80 peering over his steering wheel with oxygen tubes up his nostrils?

Yup. Probably down there from Lancaster County, PA for the winter...
