Lifted Truck - Moving Violations Question

[duffster]

Question-
How many moving violations can a cop wright a lifted truck for?
A buddy of mine was shooting a instructional video for the State of California officer training. So me and the boy went over to check it out yesterday in Temecula looking for a little Dukes of Hazard action during the lunch hour plus my wife was posing as a extra.
When I took off one of the officers told him he could site me for 35 moving violations. Nice huh but is it true or is the guy just being a dick????

Just putting that bumper on the front of a full sized Chevy is worth 15 violations alone. :yuk: :yuk: :yuk:

[Jordy]

Tinted windows and mudflaps jump right out at me. ;)
Oh, and the teal and pink boat should be about 10. So with D's 15, that 10 and the tint and mudflaps we're at 27 right off the bat. :D

[YeLLowBoaT]

Things I see( from the pic)
Window tint
mud flaps
front bumper
tires stick out
Then again if thats a drumax and you messed with it you could open your self up to a shit load more...
for example:
blow out "black smoke" thats a very big no - no

Add tire violation for them sicking out pass the wheel wells, if your in Utah.
Minus the teal and pink line... :rolleyes:

[JB in so cal]

[Jordy]

Sounds like #28 and #29. ;)

[MAINEVENT]

Did you really have to ask............. Basically most modifications you do to your truck, you can be cited for if you dont cover your ass on them....

[Squirtin Thunder]

But if you really think about it how many cops drive taller and wider trucks ???

[my21advantage]

Hey DCBDaytona, I sure you can tell us what kind of tickets you can you get with those lifted trucks???

[DCBDaytona]

Uh, yes... I've had them all. See what happens when you get to live in the most beautiful city in Cali? If I was a CHP officer I'd hassle college students in Santa Barbara too.

[Wizard29]

As mentioned above, none of them are "moving violations." They would be cited as equipment violations that would have to be corrected and a small fine paid.
However, if you have extensive modifications, the cop could be an ass, decide the vehicle is unsafe for operation, and tow it.

LOL this is CA there is no such thing as a "small fine"

[BigBlockBaja]

I second that.....

[Wizard29]

Yes, true. But, a few years ago I got a "fix it" ticket for three separate violations on my drag car and only had to pay $10. Not sure what it is today, but it could have changed...

[duffster]

Great..........

Come on Kilr.....all of these are "equipment" violations not movers.

[all charged up]

But if you really think about it how many cops drive taller and wider trucks ???
The ones in the real tall trucks are Firemen!!! :yuk:

[duffster]

The off duty officer was just being a dick. I’m sure he could site any lifted truck around.

Agreed.. The guy was full of crap. None of the obvious issues are "moving violations"..
window tint and no mudflaps, the tires can stick out but the full width and top 1/2 of the tire must be covered by a mudflap if they do, no front plate, are all correctable and would be fix it tickets (10 dollar fines)
Thats all i see. I have no clue on the front bumper but that truck definatly is not high enough to be over limit (head light, or frame) Our tahoe is lifted 13" with a 3" body on 40's and were only roughly 2" over the limit

[my21advantage]

easy slink.....he doesn't know any better :D

It is my understanding you dont need mud flap unless you hit a certain height. His truck doesnt look that big. :idea:

[my21advantage]

Still needs mud flaps, but what officer in there right mind is going to cite someone for that! You'd have to earn that ticket :argue:

I dont see this I see mud flaps no front plate tinted windows and exhaust. Miguel what is tow chain and possibly the frame...

[Eliminator 4 Life]

PP more then an inch past the fender well needs mud flaps so get them on my excursion :)

[Eliminator 4 Life]

Its all PC to make a stop could lead to something else :)

[H20Advantage]

Height does not matter. If the tires are wider than the wheel well, you need mudflaps. Due to the tires kicking up debri and hitting the vehicle(s) following behind.

[duffster]

Like how many beers have you had today sir. Just like the Havasu sound deal. :rollside:

[NOTALENT]

[Moneypitt]

[PHOTOGLOU]

It dose look deadly to little cars but I like it. Photoglou defend me on this.

If I get my Mercedes....I will let you buy MY EXCURSION! LOL! :220v: :p Right now we are working on getting a new truck for Geza! He is on the fence about a dually...or not????

That's exactly the reason why it was not removed it serves a purpose.

[Tremor Therapy]

Tell ya what Craig. I'll trade you straight accross for an '05 gasser. You are a friend of mine, and I wouldn't want to see you in any trouble with the man! :cool:

[Boa1277]

In AZ you are not required to have a front license plate, but if the truck has been modified in any way that raises the stock frame height you are required to have mud flaps.
I thought in Ca. the only time mud flaps are required is if your tires stick outside of the wheel well.
My solution is to drive my Ca. registered truck in AZ, and then I take my AZ registered truck to Ca. while I am working there. It seems the cops do not bother to pull over out of state registered vehicles for fix it ticket violations, maybe because they do not know the laws in the other states.. :)

[PHOTOGLOU]

I have seen your truck, do not recall if you have mud flaps, but if you do not you are in violation

No person shall operate any motor vehicle having three or more wheels, any trailer, or semitrailer unless equipped with fenders, covers, or devices, including flaps or splash aprons, or unless the body of the vehicle or attachments thereto afford adequate protection to effectively minimize the spray or splash of water or mud to the rear of the vehicle and all such equipment or such body or attachments thereto shall be at least as wide as the tire tread. This section does not apply to those vehicles exempt from registration, trailers and semitrailers having an unladen weight of under 1,500 pounds, or any vehicles manufactured and first registered prior to January 1, 1971, having an unladen weight of under 1,500 pounds.

But what if you don't drive in the mud?????????? I'm not putting flaps on my truck it would be like putting a dress on it. :yuk:

[Squirtin Thunder]

Yes you are fine unless you register here in AZ :cool:
Then you need mud flaps:cry:
I have flaps all the way across the rear and I am not legal, too high off the ground, law is 8" I am 10" with tinny tires.

I take it you have never had some 1 throw a rock in your windshield???

[Beer-30]

In CA, this is how it reads:
27600. No person shall operate any motor vehicle having three or more wheels, any trailer, or semitrailer unless equipped with fenders, covers, or devices, including flaps or splash aprons, or unless the body of the vehicle or attachments thereto afford adequate protection to effectively minimize the spray or splash of water or mud to the rear of the vehicle and all such equipment or such body or attachments thereto shall be at least as wide as the tire tread.
It is not only as wide as the tire stick out, it is the exposed section to the rear. I am sure no one here likes catching a rock or nasty mud spray from someone when it could have been prevented.

[duffster]

I take it you have never had some 1 throw a rock in your windshield???
Only from those retarted dump trucks that dump from the bottom. I do drive the 15fwy every day the worst windshield friendly road around. I look at it like putting mufflers on the boat. No f@@king way.

[LHC30Victory]

The formula we have used and defended in court is the 1/3 rule:
Measure from the center of the (rear) axle to the hanging point for the flap or device, then take 1/3 of that distance. That 1/3 is the maximum height the bottom of the flap can be off the ground. SO, if the flap is hung 3ft back from the axle, the flap must come within 1 ft of the ground.
Duffster, try driving the 605 with all those gravel trucks..... :rollside:

[sorry dog]

Does not matter you are on Cali roads, you must abide by cali law, Chicken Shit as it may be there are those that will do you....
I knew it. It's a conspiracy for keeping me and JBB in his teal chevy from visiting.

[slink]

get back to your DB's and 273.5's
No 273.5's for me.......Only 187's, 261's and the worst....288's :mad: :mad:

[firebadge]

how about occasional 24's

[slink]

how about occasional 24's
24? is that hosedragger code for getting paid to sleep :D :D

924 is a station detail like meeting the not so mrs. at the local donut shop.

My bad...we dont use "9" code out here. 10 code version would be 10-6/35 :) not that I've ever used it :rolleyes:

[firebadge]

let me set the record straight. our code for getting paid to sleep is "ON DUTY" :cool:

That's why I used to always love to call the ladder trucks out at 3am to "check the roof" on alarm calls. Sometimes I miss the patol days :p

[firebadge]

and that's why we like to "test" our power equip. like blowers, generators, saws, etc. and vacuum all the floors when the coppers come by the station for their "break"
