The article, my response (which I have not sent yet.)
He says something about "impeding the traffic flow" as if it's illegal. I'm not aware of the law he's referring to. TMK, slow moving vehicles are to keep to the right (as far as practicable) and take advantage of the shoulder when practicable. Only US Interstates, and select highways (usually sections of them) have other restrictions.
Someone should probably notify the farmers that the highway system we built for them doesn't allow farm equipment anymore. Folks would like to drive to their acreages and they can't have these silly farmers slowing them down either!
Apparently we're also required to take ID now. Funny, I thought we still had a right to travel. Bicycles aren't, yet, licensed. Who do these guys think they are? The SS? Am I unaware the law that allows authorities to imprison a person for not having an ID when they travel? Did I miss it when the US became a military installation?
