Question for Traffic Cop

[Cooked Rice]

Is it illegal to drive my car without a hood?

[95EagleAWD]

AFAIK, no it isn't.

But why would you?

Really?

Guess the 780 crowd is grossly misinformed.

You live, you learn!

[DC2]

wow, there was a thread a while back saying it isnt illegal

[Traffic_Cop]

Equipment regs clearly state that engine compartment must be covered. Ill dig up the regs when I get back to work.

How about driving without front bumpers? I always thought that was a safety concern.

[AllGoNoShow]

How about driving at night, with no low beams but fog lights?

[Supa Dexta]

does your car have tail lights on while the low beams are not?

[AllGoNoShow]

Yup, tails, brake, corners, highs and fogs, just no low's.

THis is a question for 2 diff cars :)

Yep Front & rear bumpers are required.

Bumpers or bumper covers?

[Cooked Rice]

I don't think you need the cover but you need the bumper.

It has to be as close to the OEM part as possible. ie these pick-ups which have removed the bumper and replaced it with a cover are illegal.

[googe]

"as close as possible" sounds pretty open to interpretation and impossible to quantify, cant see that going anywhere if thats what it says...

Is it illegal to be driving on 22 rims and huge mud tires with 3 feet of lift?

Read the mudflap rule carefully.. I beat that one nearly 8 years ago.. When I was charged with it, it read "If not equipped with body or fenders"...I got a ticket for no mudflaps on a truck with 35's , that had a full body, ie: cab, box and fenders. The RCMp were the worst of that one, for years I carried the printed out law around in my glovebox when I got pulled over for it..
The mudflap rule was developed for semi trucks and flat decks and then abused by ticket quota's and bored small town cops..
