We can't pull over, too dangerous
You're digging yourself a deeper hole: you respond to someone pointing out that your ride
probably requires a permit by detailing
exactly why it does.
Local authorities may still be looking the other way, but that's not necessarily safe as your initial post made it clear some drivers are taking it on themselves to enforce an expectation that basic traffic principles remain in effect unless there's an official rolling road closure for your event.
