About the only thing on the road that is not registered are the huge pieces of farm equipment that fills both lanes of the country roads.

Drives me crazy! They wait until morning/afternoon traffic peak, then drive on the only main road around (speed limit 55, basically no safe passing areas) and back traffic up for fifteen miles, on a road that you can normally do 60 - 65 on to get to work with no traffic. This is a very rural area, with tons of back roads they could use, but no, they have to inconvenience the entire community and create extremely unsafe conditions. I do not know why the police don't pull them over; they would pull me over for creating a mess like this. There are many Amish buggies too, but you can easily see around those and pass them, but when something is already extending into the oncoming traffic lane and is fifteen feet or more high, you can't see anything.

I talked with local police ata coffee shop shortly after a near accident. They were the one’s who explained that because they were farm vehicles they were under the authority of no state laws. Told me if I had a few hours they would tell me stories to make me as furious as they are frustrated.
Big farm lobby in the rural states
