    My logic with staying home has little to do with the equipment part of the inspection. In the game I play, they look harder at my coloring book than much anything else. Besides, I could really use a few days off.

    I always took 90 to 52 and went north,...Or you could drop down to Prescot and take 10 up,.........

    That 90 route is one I have looked at. Only 25 miles longer.

    Since I pull RV's and if they are under 13 2, I go up to 36 on 65 to E to 36 and cross at Stillwater.

    You've mentioned that about the off the lot rig oos atleast 10 times a day, LOL. It's sad that they have to be such ####### ########.

    What the hell kind of DOT azzhats have you been dealign with? How can a medical cad be on a 2010 form if the ...oh nevermind.


    Why the hell should you have to be restricted to wear glasses? I've thought about getting my restriction removed from my license. I mean, i need glasses to drive the truck but if im driving 1 mile or so on routes i know in my car...i dont feel like it, lol. :) Uh, michigan's vision test has 3 different letters in random order all the same size. I could easily fake it.... LOL.

    And why would you wear em if you dont have to? LOL i hate wearing mine especially when i forget to take them off before i take my helmet off and bend em :(

    I wear them because my vision is barely sufficient to pass the state test and the medical card. I do not feel it is safe to drive with.

    Had that happen a several years ago. Got inspected at E-town KY when they still had a northbound scale and left with a nice fresh sticker so I thought well good to go now. WRONG! Got to Seymour,IN 90 miles up the road and get pulled in again. Cop said, KY don't do as good as we do inspecting your getting another one. :biggrin_25510: Passed that one too.

    I usually don;t worry about this but with all these states and the country basically bankrupt I have a bad feeling about this years blitz. :biggrin_25513: I'll be taking a lot of long "shortcuts" through the woods this year! :biggrin_25525:
