Semi-stupid law:

In California, trucks have a 55 MPH speed limit: cars have a 70 (or 65, varies by location...) MPH speed limit. Thus, if both are observing (and at) the speed limit, (and that's very seldom, in my experience!) a car can pass a truck at up to 15 MPH speed difference. (Generally known as "blowing the doors off"!)

This truck speed limit has been in place since long before the nation-wide 55 mph law; when that law expired, California reverted to the "cars 65, (or 70) trucks 55 MPH"

Vehicles towing any form of trailer are also limited to 55, BTW. (It seems [at times] that no one in CA follows this one...)

Dunno about this law....but I can tell you this......
Many years ago, I flew to Atlanta, Georgia to pick up my '85 RX7....driving back out of Georgia on the interstate, the truckers were fearless......
We were doing 75-80mph in the RX7...didn't really wanna push it much further than that in an unfamiliar car.....and the truckers were blowing OUR doors off..........

Please note that in CA, "trucks" are defined (for speed limit purposes) as any vehicle with a Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) of more than 26,000 lbs. Take a look at the truck door or that immediate vicinity - CA registered trucks will have a weight sticker with the GVW rounded up to the nearest 5,000 lbs. The exception to the rounding is "26": trucks with this or less are NOT subject to the 55 mph limit. (BTW anything over 26,000, and you are required to have a Commercial Driver's License. [CDL] )

The last time I was in GA (late 2006), trucks (any weight) had the same speed limit that the cars did - as in 27 of the 28 states I drove through - only CA has this difference, TMK!

You reminded me of another bird law. Here in California Peacocks have the right of way on any street, including freeways and driveways.

Oh and watch out if you visit Blythe. You are not permitted to wear cowboy boots unless you already own at least two cows.

You reminded me of another bird law. Here in California Peacocks have the right of way on any street, including freeways and driveways.

You sure on that one? I know the City of Arcadia has given the birds right of way in driveways but not on city streets. Not that you would want to hit one.

Ohio (it was repealed a few years ago, I think after a lawsuit or something):

If you are driving a motor vehicle and come to an intersection, it is required that you fire your pistol into the air to warn people on horses that a car is in the area as the backfiring of the car might startle the horses.

It's called the American Dream.

A nice home. A strong family. People working hard to pay the rent and put food on the table. Beyond that, the dream means having the "little bit extra" it takes to buy a home, launch children into a good life, and cover the losses and setbacks that happen from time to time.
