Hi

Or you can do like a lot of guys do and just make sure
Before any one goes down that road be advised that the local and state
police have COMPLETE authority and control over the movement and operation
of NG and other mil vehicles when operated on the public ways. Citations
are issued all the time to mil drivers and they are not immune from Civil
action. The only time there would be exceptions to this are in the
declaration of a national emergency and marshall law. Mil Veh drivers must
comply with and are subject to all the same regs as your grammy driving to
the store re. operation. It is true that most of the time the police
officers are very pro-military and act accordingly, but that is not a hard
rule and you will run into ones that are not. Besides unless you live in an
old refrigerator box down under the railroad bridge and have nothing to lose
I don't think you will be happy when you have an accident, a claim and a
civil action. Everyone should carry insurance unless they are deemed
self-insurable through Bonding. Steve just needs to work this out and get
his truck on the road insured and ready to go.

it has good realistic National guard markings and
camo, always wear BDU's while driving it and just
drive it just so with no reg. I know some guys who
have done this for years and have never ever been
stopped. Local and state police have no Jurisdiction
over the National guard and usually do not mess with
their vehicles. Kind of the radical approach but it is
done.
