Model Legislation for Excessively Raised Vehicles

[jeeperjohn]

I'm all for increasing safety on the road but this proposed legislation goes a little too far. There has for a long time been a movement to outlaw any modification of motor vehicles. This seems to be just the latest in that effort. Some of the points made in this proposal are good common sense ideas but there is already legislation in place that addresses these issues. I say no more bull$h!t legislation! I'll bet there would be language in there giving some knucklehead authority and a big paycheck to oversee this new legislation.:gonnablow

You guys are getting bent over nothing. That's an organization that does "model legislation" CA already has codes on the books. For a Cherokee, the frame height can't be more than like 27" and the bumper at 30". That's to the bottom edge. Then they'd have to stop you, bust out the tape measure and check it. If you don't drive like an arse, you'll be ok.

California doesn't jail until you have 3 DUI's?

Something like that. I favour the Turkish model -

First Offence - you are taken 50 miles out of town and forced to walk back under police escort.

Second Offence - once it's confirmed that you're on your second, you are shot. Problem solved.

I know it's a bit Draconian, but if we adopted a similar model over here, we'd have a lot less drunkards driving around on the roads and endangering people. When driving cross-country, I'll usually pull over to sleep from about 0100 to 0330 or 0400 - once the souses are off the road, I'll get back on.

It almost takes a DUI on a suspended license to get put in jail here. Not that I think jailing helps the problem - how about 10 lashes in the town square, or something similar? Leave marks where they matter - you won't forget it anytime soon...

You mean a 2wd Chevy truck with a 14" lift, 22 inch rims and 38 inch meats along with 3.07 gears, stock brakes, chromed shocks and differential covers and a Flowmaster muffler setup (4 inch tubing, of course) coupled with ghost flames and seven-thousand head pounding watts of Alternative music is USELESS???? Apparently, you have not been out clubbing for some years my fine Jeeping friend! Chicks with white-blonde hair dressed in plastic outfits absolutely LOVE em.arty:

Change 14" to 12", loose the flames, Alt. to gangster rap/vaccero music, and the blonde is a hood rat and you have a co-worker of mine. And yes Grimm, he's got a set of balls hanging off his back bumper. :looser:

I love your avatar Gerr.

5-90 that's quite rediculous. Do you get a fine or have to appear in court for 1 or 2 DUI's in Cali?

Public humiliation like getting whipped in the middle of the town square is deffinantly one the best minor offense punishments IMO.
