Here in NY the DOT laws are so numerous, convoluted and repetitive it is ridiculous. During my years as a Sheriff's Deputy I was assigned to go to NYSP truck/weight class (believe me not someting I wanted but "we need one of our Sgt.s qualified.") It is literally scarey what can be done to a driver/owner under some of the sections; I now realize why they sent me, we needed to have some idea what was going just to keep some of our "Super Cops" from ruining local owners...some of the sections allow for a dollar per lb fine and impoundment until paid; now a local dump truck owner with 4-5 trucks could be put out of business with one ticket, so between us and the Troops we had a deal where each truck got pulled and ticketed once a month for a very minor weight charge, driver wouldn't even ask to be weighed, just held on to that ticket all month to show if he got stopped again, we had serious talks with Deputies/Troopers that didn't want to honor that system. State and municipalites were happy as there was some generation of funds from fines, and Companies were happy as they weren't getting screwed, we were happy as we didn't have to break out the scales very often! We also didn't bother much with guys hauling their own equipment around locally...but like I said, the laws are so convoluted that even the most experienced weight guys don't really have many answers when ya need clarification.

I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
