More of the regulatory hell being pushed on us by the political appointees at the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration.

I'm ambivalet on this. I hate to see more regulation, but I've also seen farmers here in GA drive farm machinery on the roads like they were total morons. Pay absolutely no attention to stop signs, and then go 30 mph below the speed limit down the middle of the road once they get in front of you. Hold up a string of 25 or 30 vehicles while going 10 mph and failing to pull over periodically to let them pass (as is required by state la here in GA).

Licensing them won’t stop this. Enforcing the law will (instead of having cops sit at profitable speed traps having little to do with public safety).

Properly, that is a state issue. All highways are state highways (yes all of them, including interstates and US highways, those just get federal funding under the “post roads” clause). The state sets the rules of the road. If farmers are driving in an unsafe manner the state needs to rewrite the rules for that state.

This is my only complaint. They should pull over and stop acting stupid. They aren't paying road upkeep taxes. I have no problem with slow moving farm equipment as long as they pull over periodically
