Re: Bought myself a ticket
Sounds like fraud to me, both what you're doing and what you're suggesting in the last sentence.
My apologies to the OP, I'm getting up on my soapbox.
NYBo you are exactly correct. The fact is using a tag for one trailer on another is against the law (assuming an officer would go scratching around a trailer to find a VIN number)
Secondly, in FL the law states the lights must be permanently affixed to the trailer. Strike 2 for me.
Strike 3 is using the junk trailers reg. Unless you actually use part of the junk trailer to repair the other one and then scrap the rest so there is no chance of 2 trailers with the same VIN.
However, I will commit these 3 offenses rather than subject others to a dangerous situation where I have no lights, an unsafe vehicle and nothing identifying me as the owner of the vehicle.
As for the law, I realized rather late in life that the only laws are those which you choose to submit to and the only real law is the law of the jungle, survival of the fittest, kill or be killed, eat or be eaten. After all, the law says that 51 out of 100 people can make laws and force the other 49 people to obey BUT where is the law that came before that one that says the majority can tell everyone what to do? Of course the answer is The Law of the Jungle.
The purpose of the law is for the public's safety. That's what I concern myself with.
I appreciate your comments to the OP NYBo, he would do well to consider them. I just think differently.
