    They have had that law for many years. It would come back on the truck driver for not having planned ahead. No doubt it would be nice if it did happen, but it is doubtful. As far as cars, they have the same rules. I have seen them kicked out as well.

    Just what I was thinking. Yes, it sucks that they have a limit on parking like that, but it would fall back on the driver for not planning ahead and having a legal and safe place to park.

    And to make it worse, there is limited parking available due to the lack of sufficient truckstops around the larger cities.

    I parked in VA many times and never had a trooper tell me I had to move.

    And everyone's plans always work out perfect, there is never anything out of their control that messes them up? :roll:

    Your average elected official seems to be below average when it comes to common sense.
