I was pulled over by an Iowa Highway Patrol officer(I have Iowa
plates BTW) last spring for"failing to change lanes on the interstate
to avoid emergency vehicles on the side of the road"  blah blah
blah.  I'd never heard of that rule and the emergency vehicle in
question was his brownish colored unmarked cop cruiser that had
barely discernable yellow lights blinking from the rear window.  It
was daytime and bight out and hard to see themn in the first
place.  Maybe those evil kayaks I had on my roof racks were the red
flag?  While we had a nice long chat( I can kiss ass with the best of
them if it will save me some money) he gets out his code book and
looks up what constitutes a legal roof rack!!.  Turns out in Iowa,
your roof rack can't stick out more than the width of the vehicle
body on the driver's side, but can stick out 18" on the passenger
side!!!!!  Who the hell wrote that law much less voted for it?  I got
off with a warning and now I know better..... I think.
