Road safety is everyone's responsibility

Sounds like PUCO strikes again! Great people in Ohio, but go around it if you can.

 

Neither as long as you weren't doing it for hire.

 

As soon as you left. You were performing company business.

 

In this case I woulda left and got back to my trip home as soon as the cop left and the coast was clear. No way I’d sit oos for 10 hrs on something that is in no way worthy of a violation.

 

So you had a wrecked 3/4 ton dodge on a trailer behind a 1/2 ton Ford. Did the officer check any of the weights? I bet you got off lucky with only being oss for a 10. The Dot's job is to in force the law, the weather doesn't care about laws and dot doesn't care about weather. You chose to leave when you did, you could have gotten a hotel and waited out the storm.

 

Good point about the weather. With the forecasting tools available there's really no excuse to get caught out.
On the violation itself....Some people do everything but hang out a "Stop me. Committing several violations" sign. The Highway Patrol looks for things like the OP was doing. They see literally thousands of vehicles every day. If you pull their focus you can bet you've done something to earn the attention.

 

Didn’t you start another thread about a accident and insurance no paying and gona sue the insurance company or some other BS? You know the thread you tried to make it sound like it was somebody else when it was really you after you got exposed !
Your really a piece of work
