Lifted trucks with idiot owners have entered the chat.
I had a dickweed in a lifted truck pass me last night. That fucker had like 12 lights on the front. They lit up the area like daylight. Why cant the NTSB make a change for what is legal so we can get these dicks off the road.
The NTSB is not a legislative government body, they are an investigative government body, they can only make recommendations for other government bodies to act on
I think the agency would be the NHTSA, but I don't know much teeth they have in making or enforcing regulations.
Those are illegal for road use where I live, but it doesn't stop people.
It's not illegal if it's not enforced.
It is enforced. I have no doubt that I would get pulled over if I tried it, but it doesn't stop everyone.
Went to Houston recently for a thing and the number of lifted trucks I saw was astonishing. Most of them didn't even have the wheels to fit the lifted trucks either so they just looked super awkward. The dumbest one I saw was a lifted SUV where only the front wheels were lifted.
The ones with regular wheels might be the better ones. Some fraction of them have a different set of off-road tires they swap to rather than drive on 40" all the time.
Idk how anyone can be a pedestrian in Texas. You'd just die. No one can see anything lmao.
