If you don't know the Law-don't propagate Internet Myth..you don't do anyone any favors by posting something from an Advisory Circular, and stating it's "The Law".
To answer the OP question; no, you are not violating any laws. Go out wherever you want, and fly your quad, and have fun. A little common sense goes a long way.
IF, people were pulling off the highway or stopping.....cool. But, you may want to re-think where you fly, or, fly during daylight hours.
You're not breaking any laws, because None exist right now.

Good Geebuz! You asked a question I answered it. Did I tell you not to fly in "civilization?"! Did I tell you I dont do that? If you don't want an answer, next time don't ask it!!! No one said it was "law", everyone said suggestion... holy cow man, did you look up where I lived too? total troll.
YOU asked where are people getting this stuff, and its not like we made it up. Everyone is trying to tell you WHERE WE GOT IT FROM!
Here's what you asked if you've forgotten already.

Of course no one can take you seriously because you're a clown.
As opposed to a guy with the Nickname Thongbong? We should take you more seriously? Why post?
I posted a link to some good information....and, answered the OP's question.
Everyone has an Opinion.....few should share it

Never said you were wrong, I think you're right, but seriously, spanktimonious got offended somehow and started attacking poeople when I was just trying to answer his question. He asked, I answered. Somewhere along the lines he concluded I was a hypocrite because I was telling him what the FAA was saying or suggesting.

This is a place to educate, and be educated. Not a place to insult, or be insulted. We're Adults-how bout we start acting like it? Just a thought?

oh man, feel like I'm back in junior high! :lol: well on a lighter note, check out a video I posted a few weeks ago of me flying over civilization. But I hope the FAA doesnt see this because they'll see I went against their "suggestions"viewtopic.php?f=6&t=8182
It's actually a joint recommendation (400' max, line-of-sight flying only and not flying over populated areas) from the FAA and the AMA.
It doesn't like anything to get too excited about. Let's move on (not an order, just a recommendation). Lol!

OK, Spanky, check this out. This was last month in Ontario, California.

I suppose it still won't be good enough for you, but for the rest of us I think it makes it pretty clear that the FAA and the AMA have been working together regarding our mutual interests.

I see now why the FAA won't meet the 2015 deadline.
In the mean time, when I fly, I try to just use some common sense and courtesy. I'm not sure flying next to a highway at night qualifies, so that's one I will personally steer clear of. The more responsible we are at our hobby, the less likely it will be that they just ban it altogether figuring we're all morons. I'm not implying that flying next to a highway is moronic either. My suggestion is just to try to be good examples for the hobby.
The more ways people find to abuse something, the more strict the laws will be.

Nicely put.
Time to stop clowning around! :lol:
If you want an example of morons ruining a good thing just look at gun laws. I hope I don't have to put up with similar issues with my rc hobby as I have to with my gun hobby. New York turned me into a gun criminal with the stroke of the governors pen in a late night private meeting. I'm hoping not to become an RC outlaw too. :shock:
