Kinda reminds me of the one of the first trips I took with my 79 Peterbilt. Rookie DOT man pulled me over, wieghed me up....legal....inspects my truck, finds nothing wrong, comments about no power steering and no A/C.......and then says he's gonna write me up for having no front brakes on the steering axle.

I told him it didn't need brakes on the steering axle because it was old enough and he said 79 was the 1st year they were required. I told him to check his book because the law didn't come into effect until July of 79 and my truck was built in May..........it was total crap, but he bought it........no tickets, just 45 minutes sitting along side the road b/s ing with the DOT man.......
