We're regularly hearing from customers that they got pulled over in Oregon because of "X". That's because Idaho has laws that are on the books, not enforced, and people run roughshod. Oregon doesn't feel the same way, so wheels hanging way out of wheel wells, window tint, improper lighting, etc., all end up with a short stay on the side of the road and a little written reminder of your trip to Oregon with some regularity.Hopefully they're not shocked when they get tickets while driving in states like Utah.
Same thing with speed limits. 80 mph rural interstate limits over here has resulted in people traveling at triple digit speeds and the State Patrol enforcement is spotty as heck. Oregon doesn't play that game, has a 65 mph limit, and they don't mean 10 over is okay. They ticket at 70. Washington used to be that way, don't know how they are anymore, but I have friends that retired from the State Patrol over there, and are now deputies for a couple different counties. I know what THEY'RE like, and I don't hold out much hope for your chances if you cross them on the side of the road. Just saying that mouthy doesn't work with long term law enforcement folks. 30 year veterans of verbal abuse don't have a sense of humor.
