Full Version: Illegal Bumper Height
Has anyone recieved one of these tickets? Would i be able to put my plates on a stock rogue and send the pictures in to the court?
What even? Your car is super legal haha. At least according to the nazi standards in California.
I couldn't find the vehicle code for new york, but in California it is:

It is unlawful to operate any passenger vehicle, or commercial vehicle under 6,000 pounds, which has been modified from the original design so that any portion of the vehicle, other than the wheels, has less clearance from the surface of a level roadway than the clearance between the roadway and the lowermost portion of any rim of any wheel in contact with the roadway.

The cop measured from the ground to my bumper and it was an inch and a half so he gave me that ticket among others
Were you the one lowered congress talked about on a status update about their friend getting an illegal bumper height ticket?
