It's been illegal in many states and a big reason is their headlights are always blinding everyone else on the roadway. They also don't have mud flaps on most of them so rocks are getting thrown in peoples windshields. Most driving those trucks are high school kids trying to impress their bro's while blasting out crappy Bro-Country.

Besides the fact that it's the stupidest thing I've ever seen done to a truck, how can anyone not understand the glaring safety issues?

Quote HistoryQuoted: There was nothing on the books that prevented someone squatting a truck until now. SC isn’t the first state to do it. I believe NC and VA both did it within the last couple years. The squatted truck thing is a legit safety hazard. I saw accidents all the time around town from these guys Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Are there not existing laws on the books related to safety? There was nothing on the books that prevented someone squatting a truck until now. SC isn’t the first state to do it. I believe NC and VA both did it within the last couple years. The squatted truck thing is a legit safety hazard. I saw accidents all the time around town from these guys I understand there was nothing on the books that specifically addressed squatted/lifted trucks like this. What's confusing me is that I assume there are existing laws that address poor visibility out of a motor vehicle, and laws that address bumpers being raised to high, and unsafe alterations to vehicles, etc. I don't have a problem with going after unsafe vehicles. I am just wondering why new/more laws are being passed, when it seems very likely that existing laws on the books could presumably address all of the safety issues. But, perhaps this makes more sense. I dunno.

Cruise through a couple of your local high school lots, then get back with us.  But seriously, this is mainly a 16-25 year old white male thing. They tend to be driven within a 10-12 mile radius of the area high schools. |

Never heard the term Carolina squat, I always refer to them as “stink bugged” out. I’ve also noticed they seem to all have some kind of huge lettering on the back window and always seem to be rolling with the windows down and some kind of crossover country hip hop blasting.

Any modification to your vehicle that makes it less safe for others should not be allowed. 1) effects handling 2) effects the headlights 3) changes the alignment of bumpers 4) changes sight lines |

Enjoy any sort of truck lift being banned next citing "safety".
Yup, the lift in yhe front clearly causes giant visibility issues worse than if an even lift were applied. But that bumper height nonsense will be deployed by ebvirin karens looking for the next incremental step. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Living in the upstate I have only saw one or two of those. Must be a thing somewhere else in the state. I saw more of them in NC than SC. There were already laws on the books about improperly adjusted headlights and obstructed vision, as retarded and gay as this trend is- and it's way up there- there were already laws on the books that could have been used. Of course given the unsafe manner in which so many people here drive and the cops don't do anything about it I have to wonder how often this will actually be enforced. Honestly, like most fads, it seems to have been going away on its own; of the few I know/knew of around here I haven't seen most of them in a while. Now if I could just get that retarded kid with the massive subwoofer in his Jeep Cherokee to quit rattling the neighborhood windows with crappy country music..... |
