Here's a funny story! My neighbor and his wife were headed to work one day and they got pulled over. As the cop approached the car, they both put their hands out the window. Apparently his nephew..former cop, told him to do this as it makes the cop feel more comfortable. When the cop got to their car and asked why they did this and once he heard their explained..he just laughed and told them to slow down : ))

Desert Sun I take it that you don't donate to the PBAs widows and orphan fund.

Hooey. No one is slowing down. Have you driven on a major highway lately? I challenge you to find someone ACTUALLY doing 55 on the northern stretch of the Parkway, or 65 on the Turnpike, save for grandma in the Mercury Grand Marquis in the right lane.

Boy, I bet that attitude gets you far during traffic stops. Do you pull out the "I PAY YOUR SALARY!!!" line?

Thin, very thin. Funny you mention Dunkin Donuts. Why don't you go spout this nonsense to the widow and children of Philadelphia Police officer Charles Cassidy-shot in the head in cold blood for nothing more than walking into a Dunkin Donuts for a cup of coffee? I bet they'd agree with you that officer Cassidy had a cushy job right up until some thug shot him for simply wearing a uniform.

And, you know what? I've learned the hard way that it's true!

Since my last interaction with an LEO that netted me a 12 mph over ticket on an interstate, I've slown down and cruise at the speed limit. Guess what? The cops don't even notice me out there anymore.

Hmmm, obey the law; don't get tickets. I kind of like that!
If you were living in New Jersey, you were told wrong. Here in New Jersey you are not a citizen, you are a revenue source!!

A rented truck, operated by a private individual for personal use is a fine line but its not that fine. Your use for the vehicle is private, not commercial, I assume? You did not mention specifically. You could rent a truck to move yourself, that is PROBABLY not commercial. Or you could rent the truck to move stuff for your business. That is very likely commercial.

What was your ticket for? A 14 foot truck should usually not have a > 14,000 pound GVWR. Did it have 4 or 6 wheels? Did you look at the GVWR on the truck??? What about the registration? Did the cop??? What is the law exactly? Keep in mind there is a huge difference between GVW and GVWR. One is the ACTUAL weight of the truck and all of the crap in/on it, the other is the tagged rating on the door jamb. Is the law pertaining to 7 ton GVW or GVWR? Did the truck have "X" plates? Pretty sure rentals that small don't have X plates, but they might.

What do the signs say when you enter the parkway? Specifically. No trucks? No commercial trucks? No commercial above 7 tons GVW? No commercial trucks above 7 tons GVWR?

If the rule says no trucks over 7 tons and your truck has a 14,000 # gvwr, that is not OVER 7 tons, it IS 7 tons.

You are right, trucks are all over the parkway, just not commercial ones. Mom and pop pulling their RV, boat, etc. Joe blow moving from point A to point B. Give me a break.
I don't know if it was gvw or gvwr, I think the cop mentioned 7tons, it was an empty truck, he even asked me if i had stuff in it. I know buses are way over 7tons so its strange to me. I don't recall any other interstate or big highway in jersey that doesnt allow trucks..
