i enforce fmcsa rules and regs in nyc . missing that clip is not an out of service unless the leafs have shifted under fed regs . illinois law i dont know . this defect can be written under fail to maintain inspect repair . but i would not take the vehicle out of service .the officer was correct as this is a violation but the state law with out of service for any violation seems strange . these clips are there to keep the leafs inline and if the springs are not shifted , i would not bother writing it . no safety issue in my oppinion . maybe he handled the situation based upon your attitude .

That is the key right there....
Whenever I get the the arrow or the message to go to the coop, I park the rig, bring my binder, wallet, and my polite attitude. Yeah, sometimes (about less than .005 of the time) I did something wrong. Most of the time it's to make sure that I'm squared away.
Even if you did something wrong, a good attitude goes a long ways to reduce the "pain".Double L, ssbowles and Dr. Venture Thank this. -
tell me what does attitude have to do with law?
so if i am nice, i can break the law, but if have an attitude, i am held to some impossible standards?
cops are supposed to uphold the law, not apply it willy nilly depending on how much someone kisses up to them
but then again, i thought the guys who shot ahmadu diallo deserved the death penalty. what do i know? -
The I 90 scale in eastern WY makes you split weight spread axle trailers. -
It shouldn't be that way, but remember.......... its their sand box, we just play in it. Its their rules. -
IOW, you catch more flies with honey than you do with vinegar.Sacred Feline Thanks this. -
Attitude has nothing to do with being able to break the law.
I guarantee that if you say get pulled over for a broken tail-light and you call the officer a derogatory name, you'll find out real quick how attitude comes into play.

This is getting old...... -
yes, subservient to the representatives of the powers-that-be
thats the key to success in life -
where do you get anything where i am justifying being rude or name calling
thats the forte of you guys, i dont call you names
nor do i call cops or anyone else names
i am saying that if i broke the law, or if i didnt, should not depend on me kissing butt, thats all -
that was a much better response
sheesh
