"bill" and it was not what I expected. Correct me if I am wrong but it
looks like it only restricts vehicles that are restored or at least made up
to look like they did in the service. I assume that means original lighting
and unit markings and so forth. It appears to have the same restrictions
that an antique tag here in SC has. Now granted SC is one of the most
backwards state in the union when it comes to vehicle safety and standards
and I may have missed something. It would seam if you changed the
appearance and function of any "historic military vehicle" you could tag it
like a regular vehicle. I didn't see anything about armor. Did I interpret
this bill correctly?
many years ago and asked someone about the little light on the back. I was
concerned to find out it was only a little brake light. No turn signals at
all. I ask how that was legal. I was answered it was the factory equipment
at the time and therefore the law allowed for it. I thought, that's kind of
silly, to allow something that could contribute to an accident on the road
with the rest of traffic like that.
glassed on. Frankly I don't see you guys getting much support from anybody
outside this hobby with this one. As I read I though it sounded reasonable.
If you want to restore a vehicle to original condition the government will
allow you to operate it on public streets from time to time. Of course if
you did restore it and invest all that money you probably will trailer it to
events anyway. If you modify it for commercial use you don't need a gun
ring or unit marking and you would want good lights and other safety
equipment. If you want to make it a every day driver you could be expected
to do the same.
you guys can get something done. I just thought I would throw another view
point out there for you. I am off to run sewer lines all day so have fun, I
won't.
