yah know, we have the same problem out here with cops and interpretation of the law, way back in 1921 when the Highway Traffic Act and Motor Vehicle Act was introduced ALL motorized vehicles that "can not acheive and maintain a speed greater than 30 mph" was excepted from those acts, that is why to this day all farm equipment is exempt from those acts, however in the late 80s the definition of motor vehicle was changed to anything propelled by anything other than human muscle , but that is where all the confusion and BS starts because a horse drawn cariage is not human muscle and farm tractors are definatly not but they do not enforce it on the farmers because if they did all the farmers would drive into the nearest city with their tractors and bring the entire country to a stand still , but tell that to cops today and they wont listen , it all relates to their arrogance and atitude ,it is my belief that ALL cops need a serious attitude adjustment and need to be sent back to law school, they have forgotten who they work for, and have also forgotten what their sworn slogan is, "To Serve And Protect" ---not--- "To Enslave and Beat"
PS i forgot to mention that way back in 1921 when the definition excluded anything that couldnt do 30 mph italso by definition excluded all seatbelt laws that came introduced in 1959 and came into affect in 1964 , any roads where you were not expected to exceed 30 mph was excluded from the seatbelt laws including all side roads (gravel roads)

A Mans level of mechanical education directly corresponds to the level pain suffered while getting it
