Re: The penalty is “mandatory revocation of license” for at least a year.

No. I've done a lot of burnouts and never hit anything but I could have got a nasty ticket for doing it.

The same can be said for tinted windows. I've had tinted windows for years and have never put a scratch on any of my vehicles. I remember my friends getting popped for having tinted windows back in the day. Now the police cars have them.

My Corvette has tinted windows and no front license plate. I'm sure that I could get pulled over for that but never have. I guess the police aren't interested in an old man going to the drug store to pick up his Viagra.

Public safety? Bar's have parking lots. What do they think is going on in there?

Laws have been on the books for years about altering your vehicle. This is nothing new.
The trucks have full lift kits in the front they stay like that all the time . Nothing like a low rider that can lift the front ,rearor both.

The problem with this "look" is the driver cant see in front of his vehicle . Wouldn't see a person entering the crosswalk and other cars hitting the brakes in front of him . The laws here on tints are to protect police during a traffic stop . No way to tell untill the window is down who you are dealing with or if there is a gun pointed at you .

But this look would have been covered by the bumper being to high from the pavement . Guys get around it by lowering the bumper on lifted trucks . My chevelle front bumper is technically illegal as I lowered the front and its bottom edge is 10 inches from the pavement reg is between 16 and 20 inches.
