JDdriver. Just cause you do it don't make it safe or right.

I HAVE THE RIGHT TO BE SAFE! That RIGHT is granted by the Constitution! You share that right. You DO NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO ENDANGER ANYONE! You are the reason that some of these laws regarding DOT and vehicle safety are on the books. If they didn't pass those laws people would be killing or injuring innocent people just cause it's convenient or seems cost effective. That isn't just farmers. It's RV owners who are not qualified to drive some of the rigs they drive. It's local guys running down the highway with an old manure spreader used as a trailer to haul firewood with no lights or brakes, just a SMV sign at 60 MPH (local guy who don't even farm). The guys running down the highway with 30K boats not tied down, just the winch connected to the bow. The farmers that never could be bothered with adjusting the tow in on farm wagons or just the guy who spent too much time at the bar. The homeowner hauling junk to the scrap yard as it falls off the trailer.

The same right granted by the constitution (see Heller vs. DC) says I have to right to keep in bear arms and the supreme court included the right to defend myself. I wonder if that should carry over onto the roads sometimes.

One of the safest guys I know on the road is a farmer. One of the worst is a farmer and my BIL. The first is safe because he understands that should something bad happen he could go to jail or be sued. My BIL is just a tight wad.

Today's Featured Article - Restoring a John Deere 2010 Diesel Tractor - by Jim Nielsen. Following seven years working in California's Silicon Valley, my wife, baby son and I moved back to Australia to retire. We bought a small 'farm' of about 50 acres near Bendigo, in the state of Victoria. I soon found that it would be very useful to have a tractor around the place for things such as grading our long drive and brush-hogging the fields. I was also embarking on planting 1000 eucalyptus trees, and hence I would need a ripper, small disk plow, sprayer etc. to get these things accompli ... [Read Article]
