Driving cross-country with expired tags?
I try to be as fair as possible as a police officer. But unforunately in this type of situation it gets complicated. While I could understand your reasons, I would cite you and have your car towed on scene. Reason being, lets say I let you go and you get into an accident in another town. You will end up having to explain yourself to another police officer. You tell him "oh, this cop in that other city let me go after knowning my plates expired". This will come back to me after a short investigation in IA and I will get into alot of trouble. Your best bet is to contact the registry where you left and see what they can do, and most certainly contact the registry of where you are moving too. As for temp tags, I do know most states have them. Mine doesn't =(
Why do animals run INFRONT of moving cars and trucks?
Do you look left and right everywhere you walk? An animal does not recognize a road is a pathway for cars. When you fly up going 60 mph, you come out of nowhere to them.
Boyfriend being stationed across the country?
I am married to a US Army Officer who has served 34 years. We have been married almost 30 years. We have 3 grown children. During that time, he has served 7 deployments and been stationed in Oklahoma, Texas, Georgia, Washington, Korea, Germany, Italy, Iraq, Kuwait, and Ireland. I have gone with him to live everywhere except Korea, Iraq and Kuwait. When we were younger we usually lived on base, but for the last 20 years or so when we move, we live in a home in or near the town he's stationed at. What can I say? Moving can be difficult. But it is a trade off. I've been fortunate enough to live in several foreign countries and wouldn't have given up those opportunities for the WORLD. My children have seen and experienced so many places, people and things that most of their friends can only imagine. It's understandable to be anxious about a lifestyle you know so little about. There are times when I missed my mother. She has passed away now, but I still missed her a lot when she was alive. I always figured I move away from home, though. I had planned on attending a college far from my parent's home and I did. Children leave home. It's the natural state of things. Whether or not you are ready to leave the area where your parents are is up to you. I have never regretted my decision to marry my husband and live this life. It's been a very busy life, and I have treasured every second of it. I was so in love with him I would have gone anywhere just to be near him. (I still feel the same way) There are no guarantees in life. You could choose to stay near your parents, then find out that your job requires you to move across country. I would advise you to focus on your relationship with your boyfriend. Analyze your feelings. Are you ready for marriage and the committment that goes along with it? Can you be happy with him even though you are away from your parents? Only you can answer these questions. I don't think moving every 5 years is the problem. If you are happy with your spouse, you'll go to the moon with them. Spend some hard-thinking time deciding if your love for your boyfriend is deep enough for a life-long commitment. This is a time that you need to examine your heart and your level of maturity. I wish I had a magic answer for you, I honestly do. But the answer lies within you. Search for it. You'll find it.
Is it legal or illegal to stop for animals when they are crossing the road?
It is always legal to stop for an animal in the road, and you should do so whenever you can do so safely. As a general rule, you are always entitled to stop to avoid striking any unexpected object in the road, and should do so when practicable.It may not be possible to stop for an animal in the road, if it darts out suddenly and you are too close to it to stop before hitting it. In such situations, you may not swerve to avoid the animal if doing so would cause you to interfere with other traffic. If your choice is to hit the bunny or hit another car, hit the bunny.If you stop suddenly to avoid an animal (or for any other purpose) and the car behind you hits you, the collision is the fault of the driver behind you. That driver was following too closely. You may, however, want to remain aware of whether there is someone behind you and decide to hit the bunny instead of be rear-ended.Finally, if you do stop, try not to remain stopped any longer than necessary, especially if you’re stopped in a place where you might not be readily visible. Other drivers may stupidly assume the way is clear when it actually is not, and thus hit your car.I once had a bird (I think it was a pigeon) fly out of a drain culvert beside the road and fly right in front of my car as I drove by at 60 mph. It exploded in a giant mess of blood and feathers that took me hours to clean out of the front end of the car.
What are the five best reasons for moving from the city to the country?
We moved from Calgary, Alberta (population 1.4m) to Mill Village, Nova Scotia (population 600). We live in a large, 1940s house facing the river on 2 acres of land. What are the benefits?The peace and quiet — the only sounds are the peeper frogs in the spring and the bull frogs in the summer. I sure don’t miss the sound of traffic, people shouting/arguing, construction etc.No more traffic jams — even on the main road going into town. If we see more than 3 cars at the crossroads we automatically exclaim, “the traffic is terrible today, it is like Picadilly Circus!”The beautiful (private) view — no more overlooking other houses, shops or offices. We wake up every morning to a beautiful view of the river, trees and wildlife (deer eat our apples, beavers from the dam along the river, and even turtles crossing the road to lay their eggs). Consequently we don’t bother with curtains so we see the sun come up every morning.Freedom for our animals — we have always been cat lovers but prefer them to be outdoors which is not permitted in most Canadian cities including Calgary. They truly love roaming about the woods in the good weather and are vigilant, keeping the rodent population under control. However, we never let them out once it gets dark as we do have predators.Freedom to hang out our washing — where we lived in Calgary there were zoning laws prohibiting hanging out washing. Where we live now, it is the norm. Why waste electricity using the drier when you can let your towels, sheets and “smalls” dry naturally in the sunshine.We spend less money — when supermarkets and restaurants are not easily accessible, you are less likely to “impulse buy” or eat out instead of homecooking . I shop less often and always with a list so I don’t have to waste time and petrol. Once a month we drive into Halifax and stock up at COSTCO, IKEA, etc. I have also learned to bake my own bread which our AirBnB guests really seem to enjoy.
Animals are allowed to cross the border, right? So if you wanted to sneak across the border, could you get one of those realistic animal costumes and crawl your way across?
Which border? From which country to which other? You cannot get anything between Lebanon and Israel, for instance. You don’t even have a checkpoint between the Netherlands and Belgium, for example.The one border I personally have experience with is the one between Tijuana and San Diego. You are allowed to cross, in my experience, cats and dogs, as long as they are clearly registered in the States, and properly vaccinated, and you can show it.I cannot imagine an animal costume that would make a normal human to look like a pet. It would either be child endangerment (so that a baby can fit in it, and bent him/her to do so), or a very sick and unfortunate adult (so that the extremities are thin enough).
Can Dogs Ride In The Back Of A Moving Truck?
Most people who answered either did not read or understand the details of your question. They seen to think you meant an open pickup. Its a moving van. The biggest danger to your animals will be too much heat. Its January so if you are in the northern half of the country it won't be a problem. If you are far enough south for heat to be an issue it would be better if they were not in there during the middle of the day. The truck is not airtight so you don't need to worry about their ability to breath. If its possible you should strap the crates down so they won't bounce when traveling rough roads. Let them out every few hours and they will be fine.
