RCP #4 Article: Pleasure Driving section - Metric Measurements

RCP #4 Article: Pleasure Driving section
Submitted by: ADS Pleasure Driving Committee 

Suggested Wording: 
Delete all English measurements in the Pleasure Driving Section and leave all Metric measurements. Art 238.4 Leave conversion chart except remove conversions for Pounds and Kilograms. 

Reason for Change: 
This is an effort to streamline the Rulebook. This also would make all of ADS competitions conducted using the Metric system. Most carriage measuring tools now are in metric units. Even the English are using the Metric system!

    I disagree. All measurements have already been figured out as both inches/feet and meters. Leave it as is. This is the American Driving Society, and inches & feet are the measurements most utilized in most instances in this country. It’s already there…leave it.

  12. Cheryl Pratt Rivers ADS# 032720 on proposed rule changes for 2021
    I write to comment on proposed rule changes for 2021. I am a long time driver who has competed in both Pleasure Shows and CDEs from the training to the advanced level and have competed in Europe as well. I have attended several world championships as a spectator as well.
    I am embarrassed that I have never paid much attention to rule change proposals before. This year though you have gotten my attention and I am writing with a sense of urgency and a deep disappointment at the direction of a couple of the changes. I appreciate the effort that people put into these changes, and support most of them. I oppose those that I believe will discourage and reduce participation in our sport which I believe is at risk for survival.

    Makes sense. Agree using a single system of measurement will bring consistency to measurement standards across all competitions. I support this change.
