There is someone who has a GMC and tows an enclosed trailer behind it....he
also carries kayaks on the top of the trailer.
While the name escapes me, the question remains...
How much overhang of a kayak or canoe or lumber for example is permitted by
law? Does anyone have any personal experience of perhaps being pulled over
with a pick-up that had lumber overhanging the tailgate by a few feet. Is
there a written law somewhere ( and I'm sure there is somewhere) about the
max ..?
In this same scenario here in NS at least locally, if the lumber yard ties
a scrap of red plastic to the tip of the overhang it seems to absolve the
driver of any responsibility, even if the overhang is anywhere from 4 to 40
feet <g>
I await input, and thank you in advance.
Mike in NS
