Notice to state of California Drivers:Material Obstructing or Reducing Driver's View
21 - 26 of 26 Posts
Ya we went to huntington beach to hang out and our friend was in front of us with a cop next to her when we were making a left. When we turned he buzzed on over and pulled my friend over. She had like a Jesus air freshner thingy. She got a warning for it. But she told the officer "but it's Jesus" the officer said " even if it's Jesus it can't be obstructing your view" lol
LOL, if it were a donut freshener he woulda let her go as long as she told him where to get 1.

I tried doing this with my friend's old rack but the roll bars were at too extreme an angle to let it clamp down properly :lol:

Some interesting bits of that California law:
- our Virginia stickers are illegal per that law - it makes exemptions for stickers in the corners, but not in the center. Good thing I'm not planning any cross-country trips.
- It makes exemptions for rear-view mirrors, hinges and some other bits, but not for defroster wires or third brake lights (in my 240SX coupe, as in many cars, the third brake light is mounted in a pod which sticks up and blocks a section of rear glass).
In short, I think one could make a case that the law is unenforceable.
Speaking of Virginia stickers, I had a friend who lived somewhere in the rest of Virginia but spent a lot of time in Fairfax county. His county required no tax decal. He constantly got pulled over for it. Thankfully, Fairfax county doesn't require one anymore, either.
I've had no problems with laws or the people who enforce them, here, though. YMMV.

The 3rd brake light is removed in the Mazdaspeed Protege and moved to the spoiler on the trunk. It blocks my view a bit, but I'd be removing my 3rd brake light if I got rid of it.
LAW IS UNENFORCEABLE.
