[AT] towing tractors with a pickup

[Indiana Robinson]

You don't have to have a driver's license to drive anything anywhere as
long as you don't get stopped...  :-)  :-)  :-)
I don't recommend that... but I have known a few guys that have gone for
years without a license. They don't make older drivers take a test here
anymore but at one time they required both a written test and an in car
driving test for older drivers. Many could not pass the testing (or just
feared they couldn't) and just let it expire but kept driving. As long as
they had the skills they never got stopped. Once they got stopped the
police watched for them to be out. There was a lot of looking the other way
unless they seemed dangerous.
They did away with those test both from claims of age discrimination and a
complete lack of actuarial statistics proving that the older drivers were
any more of a risk than the younger drivers.
It turned out that the big problem was not the old drivers nor the teens
but it was the road rage guys... They then started several state wide
programs watching for and tracking "belligerent" drivers.

Indiana has the same drug problems as everyplace else but there is a huge
amount of drugs that just cross the state, mostly from the south-east to
the north. Almost all big cross country drug bust here are made out on the
interstate highways or near an interchange and they are almost all because
the driver did something really stupid like running more than 10 MPH over
the limit or running a stop sign. The other dumb attack is the same one
that nabs many drunk drivers, driving too slow...  :-)
