rickeieio Posted February 8, 2018 Report Share Posted February 8, 2018 This morning, we were coming into Marfa, TX. The speed limit drops quickly, 75, 65, 55, 40, in a very short distance. I was easing on the brakes, and was at 45 when I got to the 40 mph sign. As luck would have it, a state trooper was coming at me, and came back for me. He asked me to step to the roadside and bring my license and insurance card. I handed him the license and my little binder with all my documentation, as Phil suggests. He was impressed, and said so. Of course, that didn't prevent him from giving me a warning for 10% over the limit! and an expired license. He did ask a lot of questions about why we had so much truck, and noticed the air lines for the BluDot. So, folks, get that binder in order. It might just get you a warning slip, instead of a fine.

Big5er Posted February 8, 2018 Report Share Posted February 8, 2018 When I was a young man I had a trooper, on the side of the road, who explained that if he didn't document his contacts his supervisor would think he wasn't working and then he asked if I would "mind" if he wrote me a warning. At that point I offered him my passenger's license also and told him to feel free to write her some warnings too, if it would help. From a driver's perspective, warnings are always good Glad the book helped, Rick. Like I say, if you "expect" to be stopped, because you are different, then when it finally happens you will be better prepared.

Wrknrvr Posted February 8, 2018 Report Share Posted February 8, 2018 Did you forget the license expiration. I do not think I ever forget them. Just did not get to it. Now you know the next smokie may not let it slide. Many years ago well drilling rigs in Pa. only needed implement of husbandry license plates. Not all police officers understood that at that time. What is implement of husbandry anyway. then if you had a piece of construction equipment that was the only thing on the frame and could not haul other cargo. No plate neaded. Like a tow behind air compressor . But finally put trailer plates on just for no more time explaining no plate. Safe Travels,. Vern Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickeieio Posted February 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2018 I knew my license was up for renewal, and intended to get it done before we left home. Other projects got in the way, and a winter storm was coming. We were two days into the trip, in Louisiana, when I remembered. Tried to renew online, but Indiana only allows that once. I've only been pulled over a half dozen times in my 48 years of driving, so my odds are good.

I have a folder for Ohio. I started with the resource guide at first. I got some of my info from the state of Ohio also. The bad thing is that I don't remember how I got my info from Ohio. I have my folder in the truck.I hope it's correct.That is the reason I would like to talk about it.

jenandjon Posted April 14, 2018 Report Share Posted April 14, 2018 This is very good advise. I also put a binder together. Just a 3 ring binder with the clear sleeves. Each page has truck registration, trailer registration, Insurance cards and one page is a list of of requirements for the state of Nebraska to be considered a Motor Home. Nothing special but all neat and organized. Kept in the door pocket.

rickeieio Posted April 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2018 I used a binder that had a clear sleeve as the front cover. Printed a brief description and VIN of truck/fiver. so it's obvious to the officer what's inside. One page is registrations, one is insurance cards, and one is the state statutes that apply to us. Maybe I should start a section in the back to file warning citations.......
