Arkansas bill would open roads to mini-trucks
12/17/08

Quote:

With the recent high cost of fuel forcing drivers to find ways to save money, consumers are looking for vehicles that are smaller and smaller. As a result, more truckers soon could be sharing certain roads with the increasingly popular mini-truck.
Sen. Denny Altes, R-Fort Smith, has offered a bill for consideration during the upcoming session that would open roadways in the state for the vehicles that weigh 3,400 pounds or less.
Long considered off-road vehicles, these trucks go by many names, including Japanese mini-truck, Kei truck, micro-truck and utility transportation vehicle. Mini-trucks have continued to grow in popularity as the safety conditions of the trucks have improved.
Nine states have passed laws allowing restricted use on some roadways.
