So it is perfectly ok that they destroy public property?
>>>So it is perfectly ok that they destroy public property?
It’s debatable that the wheels in question are any more destructive to roadways than many of the trucks on the roadways... Go read the case. It was decided as it was because the county enacted an ordinance that pretty much specifically targeted followers of this particular brand of Mennonite religious belief & customs - and nothing else.
I doubt he’s doing more damage to the roads than a full sized and loaded semi typically does.
What’s an Amish doing driving a tractor anyway?
Next thing you know, they’ll want a radio.
A 1,000 bu grain cart on a single axle with rubber tires does more damage to a public road than a small tractor on steel rims.
And you don’t see too many of the BTO’s running big carts getting cited for being overweight on a single axle, do you?
“So it is perfectly ok that they destroy public property?”
Debatable premise. Is the specific load imposed on the pavement by the nub/wheel rim sufficient to cause pavement damage?
Specifics, please.
