Stopped by the OSHP last night...

...for ten over on Beechmont, not really noteworthy.

What WAS noteworthy was that he actually asked if I knew what my GVWR was, what that allowed as to lift height, and where that was to be measured.

Fortunately, I do. 4,850lbs; 27" front, 29" rear; measured to the stock bumper, unless the bumper has been modified or moved, then measured to the framerail.

The only part I'm not sure of is whether the XJ is a "passenger vehicle" or "other vehicle," because the law itself is really unclear. But since he asked about GVWR, he was obviously giving me the benefit of that doubt.

Anyway, I think he was so impressed that I knew the law, that not only did he not bother to measure the XJ, but he let me off with a warning on the speed, too...

Ohio is better than some places, worse than others. Every time you deal with stupidity here, just think "At least I'm not in California!"

WrenchMonkey · 01-22-2013, 08:38 PM

Right, it was Highway, not Union Twp.

I was just impressed that he knew the law, and respectfullly agreed that I was in compliance.

I've had UT write me up for reck-op after I PASSED a breath-test leaving Mt Carmel Pub, because I barked the tires leaving the lot. Light rig on lockers will do that...

Actually that has changed over the past couple of years. While they aren't there to investigate house burglaries and muggings their agenda has shifted considerably.

We had a state trooper come to work to talk about the new *677 plan that has been implemented recently. He stated that 3yrs ao they did 70/30 traffic/crime and now they have completely flipped that to 70/30 crime/ traffic.
He goes around to companies and talks to CDL drivers wanting them to be aware and report suspicious activity. They want the CDL drivers to use the *677 to help fight drug/ human trafficking.

biggin69 · 01-24-2013, 07:35 AM

There again, they want truck drivers to do their jobs!

We had a SHP pull over one of our back hoes here in the city. He claimed he could not see his slow moving vehicle triangle. Really? I have noticed them patrolling rt. 4 in Hamilton a lot here lately.
