I agree with you Rich, that makes sense.
I just registered my Dak in Kentucky so that I would not have to put up with
the emissions nonsense here in GA and I got a Farm tag. Has all sorts of
crazy benefits.

What Ray is referring to is how the vehicle is registered. There are
different fee structures you pay depending on how you register a vehicle.
If the vehicle is registered as a regular passenger vehicle, then you can
drive on any streets that a car can drive on. If you register it as a
"commercial vehicle" or a "truck", then you are not allowed to drive on
streets posted to these vehicles. That is what I believe Ray was eluding
to.

I would tend to agree, but please understand, there is no "right" about
driving any vehicle on any road. Rights are guaranteed by the Constitution.
There is nothing in the Constitution about being able to drive where they
say we cannot.
Please forgive me if I played on your meaning, I did not intend to do that.

<snip> I'll
have to see if I can change my plates so that I can drive on LSD (Lake
Shore
Drive--no trucks, I've been ticketed before) without worrying every time I
see a police car...

HUH?????!!!! Everytime I see a sign that says "No Trucks", I have always
been taught that means no commercial vehicles, ie Tractor Trailers, dump
trucks, delivery vehicles. If I were to drive my Dakota on that road and
got a ticket, I'd go to court screaming bloody murder. How can anyone
restrict a legally registered personal vehicle from a public road? You pay
taxes, everytime you buy gas you pay a tax that goes into keeping roads up
and for new road construction. You have as much right to drive on that road
as anyone else.
