One person asked why people with LSV's (and I am one of them) do not drive on the road as they are allowed to do. I do not drive my LSV on the on El Camino Real and Buena Vista because I feel by doing so I expose others as well as myself to needless and inconsiderate risk. For this same reason I do not drive 45mph on the Interstate although it is perfectly legal. I know others may not agree, but believe that legal justification should never replace common sense and courtesy.
Wow!!, "common sense and courtesy". What a radical idea. You think people should use their heads in situations where the letter of the law may not be the prudent thing to do even if you are, in effect, in the legal right of things?
hmmmmmmm............
