re: Now that America is back to sanity...can we talk I-10 Mexican caravans?

They're already going back to Mexico. Why interfere?

Ive called about it. Police acted like they didnt know what i was talking about and that they had never seen one of these caravans. See them everyday on I65 & I10

They are typically exceeding the towing capacity of the lead vehicle when towing a train of two additional vehicles.

Perhaps, but that is a judgment call, and writing that ticket requires them to weigh the vehicles. That is probably why they typically do nothing about it.

America is full of waste. They’re just taking out the trash, as best they can.

ones man's trash is another treasure

Sir, you are deranged.

If they are breaking the law, they should be stopped. You can tow two cars legally. That is all I ever see them towing. The ones I see typically have the towing light set up. They may be exceeding the rated towing capacity of the lead vehicle. But the cops don't usually pull people over for that because ticketing requires weighing the vehicles.

Weak is wanting to give the cops the license to do whatever they want. They need to follow the law, too. Today it's the guys you want them to do something about. Tomorow you're bitching because they pulled you over because your tint is too dark.

I lost a friend to one of these clapped out busted arse caravans coming apart on the interstate in high school.

Sorry about your friend.

There's legal and safe ways to transport busted arse cars.

There is and if they are not following the rules they should be pulled over.

quote:

I have to do it the legal and safe way. They dont, because they are a protected class.

---

Protected class? That's rich. I see good ole boys towing things in an unsafe and sometimes illegal manner all the time, including trailers without working lights. Doing stupid stuff is not about what "class" you are in; it's about being stupid. And cops pulling guys over or not is usually about the cops not wanting to deal with the headache certain situations bring. An expired tag is an obvious violation and requires nothing more than pulling you over.

I am a normal guy with a job and bills and shite, and I get blasted if my inspection sticker is out.

Those guys (at least the ones I see) are usually hauling vehicles with rebuilt titles to some place for resale (maybe Mexico, but maybe simply a western state) and are usually doing it for a business. They are actually working. Now the ones other people have described sound more like gypsy type caravans but I don't see those on the stretch of interstate I see the others I am describing.

Settle down.

People don’t realize that labor cost are high enough in America that people aren’t likely to fix some of these cars. They get them for very little in America and then take them down there where labor is cheap in their home country and fix them up.

The states I have seen those in are all green: Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas. It would not hurt my feelings if Louisiana made double towing illegal.

I see those caravans of old school buses pulling a 2nd bus headed down I-10 & I'll see them coming through Sugar Land on 59.
