Hassled by the man......

Just curious do any of you get hassled a lot by the man for driving a really low truck?

Every time i paint it for about a month. Since i started driving lowered trucks back in 1987 I have gotten 3 tickets 2 for tint and one for too low and no licence plate light. (portland cop on jantzen beach across the river from ya) I got pulled over right after it was bagged the first time it was slow but i got it high enough for the stupid ball to roll under my truck and pissed him off. I got a lot more tickets in my lifted trucks.

Cl do you know what the rule is for how low you can be?

hmm thats weird i want to know that too

you need to check by your own state. obviously each state has diff. laws

Back in the day they rolled a tennis ball under the truck if it got stuck you got a ticket.
Here is what they say about it in WA
1.Does your state have a law addressing altered suspension systems (low-riders or ultra-height vehicles)?
No. We still use height of headlamps from the ground for highrise vehicles and a law that states
that no part of a vehicle can be below the lowest part of a wheel rim. With the low rise tires this
doesn’t help much.

and in New york
1. Does your state have a law addressing altered suspension systems (low-riders or ultra-height vehicles)?

answer No, but we do address bumper heights. (text below)
(b) No person shall operate a passenger car registered in NY unless it is equipped with both a front
and rear bumper, each securely fastened and with some part of the bumper located between
sixteen inches and twenty inches above the grounded. This provision shall not apply to a vehicle
registered as an historical vehicle.

cl is there such law here in oregon ..

like not having a front or rear bumper ?

Yes, state law requires that wheel covers be in place to cover the entire width of the tire down to
within 20 inches of the ground on trucks. Also, there are statutes governing the mounting height
for headlamps. I think they must be within 50

I will check about bumpers
