@LegalEagle (Most) modern diesel engines don't have a throttle the way that gasoline engines do. They "throttle" by first adding fuel, and then the added combustion energy spools the turbo, adding supporting airflow to increase engine power output. It is desirable for many diesel owners to have their engine control system tuned by aftermarket providers to increase power, throttle response, and even to improve fuel economy. Obviously, this can be taken to the extreme, and a few dopes will have ruined this (aftermarket tuning) for the rest of us (like always). Generally, a small "puff" of smoke is indicative of turbo lag. The sustained output of black smoke when "rolling coal" is a deliberate act and potentially damaging to the engine.

Having ALLEGEDLY owned a radar detector in my youth, I can attest to the fact that anything on the cheaper end of the spectrum will in fact detect radar and sometimes even LiDAR but will also detect toll booths, cars and trucks with side detection or adaptive cruise control, and automatic doors on the front entrance of buildings.

Detectors are usually not illegal for one, for two your youth must have been fairly recently because adaptive cruise and side collision detection is a fairly new feature on cars (I'm onto you). And lastly, cheap radar detectors will detect an automatic door from a mile away easily. It's the ability to know it's not a threat, and filter it out, that you pay for. - Someone who owned radar detectors in their youth, and in their not youth... Yesterday I owned one even.

Growing up as a girl in the 90s in a rural area with a TON of long and desolate stretches of roadway, one of the first things I learned about the police is that you never, EVER pull over for an officer at night. You call dispatch and tell them to inform the officer that you will not pull over until you can reach a gas station or someplace well-lit and relatively populated. Because you don't know if those flashing lights belong to an actual officer or some rando with strobe lights.

@@cirlu_bd Unfortunately that's not how it typically works in the real world. Most highways the unofficial speed is around 5 mph over the limit - though I know a couple where it's as high as 20 mph over the official limit. (And I've gone past cops with speed guns on that road at that speed without getting a ticket.) But that's not even really relevant - what is relevant is that when people know there's a speed check they tend to slow down. Note that I didn't put a 'to below the speed limit' there - they just slow down, regardless of what their speed was, what the speed limit is, etc. Sometimes this is a good thing and what you want. Generally slower traffic is safer, after all. But just doing it randomly can cause accidents or traffic snarlups.

Roads are often built inappropriately for the posted speed limit. Usually they're far too wide. Speed trap towns are common along highways, where the same road you were driving 75 on suddenly has a speed limit of 40 as you drive through the town. If we designed our roads better, we wouldn't need to rely on traffic cops and radars to keep the desired speed.

Pennsylvania, firefighters are permitted blue lights without sirens. Location and type are at owners’ discretion, interior lights were illegal until about five years ago. Many other states permit firefighters to have reds and a siren (myself included). That said, there is wicked penalties for using them when not on a call or on scene at an emergency, and for the love of god, don’t initiate traffic stops.

Huh, I thought that kind of electronic countermeasures stuff was typically classified electronics that got ripped out along with the actual weapons. Somebody would probably be in trouble for even letting the museum people HAVE that. Still a funny story to hear about, though. Also, maybe the guy shouldn't carry the still-partially-working fighter jet around with the batteries connected, I guess.

In relation to firearms, keep an eye out for the word "loaded" as it is often the key word in many of these laws. In many states the difference between legal, and illiegal is as simple as: is the firearm loaded or unloaded, assembled/disaassembled, visible/not visible to others, or accessable/inaccessable to the occupants. What is even more confusing is that some states require the opposite of other states. Sort of like how some states make it illegal to conceal carry a firearm, presumably so that with everyone open carying, other people can see who has a weapon and anyone attempting to hide weapon can be assumed dangerous and authorities alerted. Other states might make it illegal to open carry to prevent people from being triggered by a past trauma just because you're carying a weapon.

Thousand dollar fines and your vehicle is no longer road legal until you have the system removed and the vehicle inspected to ensure it is back in factory condition. One of the ways that Texas makes up for personal income tax is fines, fees, and such.

Where I live, which isn't in the US, there's a law protecting citizens against people impersonating the police. If you're driving in an area with very little traffic and/or other potential witnesses, e.g. in the countryside, you can legally refuse to pull over if the police officer (or impersonator) is driving an unmarked vehicle. You are however obligated by law to seek a safe place to pull over, e.g. at a gas station, as soon as possible. You can't get in legal trouble for refusing to pull over in such cases. However, this doesn't give you immunity against any other infractions or crimes you may be committing while driving. It's even part of law enforcement policy to not bother pulling over people for simple infractions, i.e. anything that wouldn't make you go to jail, if the officer is driving an unmarked vehicle. This means that if you later complain to the police, there's a chance the officer in question will get reprimanded. You may even call 911 while being tailed by an unmarked vehicle ordering you to pull over in the middle of nowhere. They'll be able to contact the police and verify if the person tailing you is really a member of law enforcement. If it turns out to be an impersonator, they'll send real police officers after the impersonator. They might even direct you to lead the impersonator into an ambush.

You can also call 999 and ask if it is genuine (you decide whether you want to do that whilst driving or not). A genuine officer will appreciate the optics of the stop and accommodate the caution. Or they will wait until you are in a more clearly lit and safe area before signalling to stop. There are exceptions, such as dangerous or drunk driving where it may be imperative to stop straight away, and the police will factor that into their decision and how to do it.

But the reality is that if you are on a road and riding a bicycle, you better be off the road itself. Or at least across the fog line. The city I live in is rural, there are no bicycle lanes, and for some bizarre reason the city bans bicycles on sidewalks (even though there is 0 pedestrian traffic). So what happens is bicyclists ride on the main roads, never at the speed limit because obviously they can’t, and then traffic has to pass them.

I'd love to hear from LegalEagle about semitransparent license plate covers. He apparently lives in DC areas (as I do), so he must see them a lot, especially on VA cars. For those who don't know, this is a permanent cover made of transparent plastic, and people claim it is is to protect the plate from fading or damage (clearly BS). The plastic is tinted which makes reading the plate much harder. The outer surface is also usually convex, and I suspect the only reason for that is to create a reflection to obscure the tag when a speed camera flashes its light. How can these be legal?

This video is coming on the heels of the second anniversary of Canada's deadliest mass shooting, which was done by a man pretending to be an RCMP officer, right down to a mocked up car and uniform. So the bit with the fake lights and sirens being so easy to get... is more than a bit terrifying. Not that there's any point in trying to ban the sales of such things; the exact same skills and items I used to put lights and sounds in my R2-D2 recreation I could use to make fake cherries and a siren; the kit is saving me maybe a day's work? But it makes me sad that someone out there decided it's a good idea to sell a thing that makes us all so much less safe.

The thing is, a lot of states allow non-state emergency vehicles, like tow trucks or utility vehicles, to use flashing red, or blue lights, provided they're either mixed with yellow, or just the one color. And that's what these are manufactured for. But, it's a shame they're sold to anyone, anywhere without having a way to know that the person buying has a legitimate reason for them.

There's no Province that allows red-and-blue or white-and-blue on anything other than a peace officer's vehicle, and very few that allow blue by itself or mixed with amber. Red-and-white is usually an ambulance or a fire truck. Private vehicles, be they security, tow-trucks, construction, or what have you, usually use amber, though apparently funeral vehicles have begun using purple. School buses use white strobes.

I’d never thought of it before, but I can see the utility of the license plate curtain. If you have an expensive, collectible car that you send to shows and parades, I can see that you might not want to make it any easier for interested parties to look up the ownership. If your car is a magnet for photography… Actually, it could be useful when you are trailering the car. Aside from the privacy issues, it would eliminate confusion of automated license plate readers (which could have trouble differentiating the trailer plate from the trailered car). I’ve received a bill from a toll road for a vehicle that was being trailered. I paid via a transponder, but the detected plate didn’t match the towing vehicle.

Take a page from the books of various navies of the era of the Washington and London naval treaties: The magic phrase is "fitted FOR but not fitted WITH." For example: take the County class heavy cruisers of the royal navy. To meet the maximum 10'000 ton limit, they had no belt armour. But you would notice them riding suspicously high in the water. After the treaties were dispensed with, they recieved an armoured belt and suddenly rode at about the right height in the water. Make of that what you will... Or the japanes Mogami class "light" cruisers. They had turrets with 6" guns but by pure coincidence, the IJN had some 8" gun turrets laying around in a warehouse that would - again by pure coincident - end up replacing the 6" turrets on the Mogamis... You could try something similar with your car to prep for the inevitable zombie apocalypse...

I think an important distinction about exhaust cutouts: most people install them after the catalytic converter, but before the muffler. This does not violate any emission control laws. Cutouts are still explicitly illegal in some states, or the resulting decibel level of the exhaust may violate noise pollution laws. Still completely legal in many states though.

My biggest problem with them is the danger they pose to pedestrians. Getting struck by a higher sitting vehicle is more likely to send you under the tires rather than over the hood. No one intentionally hits someone but the more trucks on the road the more opportunity for accidents to happen. Not saying someone shouldn't get a vehicle they like because of that fact, but they're not entirely innocuous.

Parking lots and a not insignificant number of roads aren't built well for them, which isn't exactly their fault, but they are highly inconsiderate of how to treat a vehicle in those spaces which causes problems for everyone. Pulling too far forward at an intersection where someone trying to turn in the other lane can't see to turn or whatever. Not staying in their lane in traffic (just going straight...or otherwise). And parking. I can't count the places I went just this week where lots were overflowing, but still had suv's parked over lines and crooked, not pulled up far enough and causing potential problems especially if people are speeding down an aisle... I counted 20 unusable spots (and gave up) for exactly this reason in one lot yesterday. I keep bringing up the idea similar to compact car parking spots, maybe some SUV or otherwise 'oversized' vehicle spots. But people don't bother to make basic infrastructure improvements anymore. You have to fight hard just for bike lanes now.

There's a difference between a "big truck" like an F250/F350 or Silverado HD2500/HD3500.....and an F150 or Silverado 1500 with a 6" lift and 35s with spacers.... Most of the people with the lift kits and bigger tires will never actually make use of the additional capability. Most don't even seem to understand that their vehicle is actually less safe that way. I've had a bunch of them complain about brakes wearing out too fast because the brake system was completely ignored and now has to stop all that additional weight. At the same time, most of those vehicles don't track properly and they suffer from reduced visibility. (Sure, they're easier for everyone else to see, but they can't see nearly as much as they could with the vehicle stock) Those trucks are a danger to everyone in a car.

I've been mentally compiling stats on bad drivers in my state and found that roughly 75-80% of the time when someone does something really stupid on the road, it's a pickup truck or SUV. Most of the rest are sports cars, of course. When a sedan or coup does something stupid, I usually exclaim out loud about it because it's so uncommon. Now, most people say that the reason people in big vehicles are bad drivers is that the big vehicles are harder to control and see out of. This is not true. It's _easier_ to see from a pickup or SUV due to the high position and the large mirrors (at least, if the mirrors are adjusted correctly). Control only becomes an issue if the person is speeding. The _real_ reason large vehicle drivers are terrible is that you have to be stupid to buy a large vehicle. Think about it: unless you work construction or on a farm, how often do you use the bed of your pickup? Once, maybe twice a year, if that? The people I know with trucks don't even use them that much. Since a truck costs at least $10,000 (usually $20,000) more than a car with comparable capacity outside the bed, that means you're spending that much, as well as double the fuel costs, in order to be asked to help everyone you know move. As for SUVs: they're minivans with higher ground clearance and a longer front end, but cost thousands more and frequently have even less horsepower. That's pretty stupid unless you need it to go off-road, but many "SUVs" don't actually have any greater ground clearance than a minivan or car. If it's a "crossover" type, it definitely does _not._ And again, how often do most SUV drivers go off-road? Even less than pickup owners use their truck beds. As for towing, a minivan can tow as well or better than any SUV and most trucks. Only a "super duty" truck has more horsepower. The same was true of station wagons back when they existed.

The question then is whether a caltrop is defined by its manufactured purpose or by its shape? I guarantee you, 4-sided dice CAN be used as caltrops. (Even Legos can be used as caltrops.) Most 4-sided dice are plastic, so they'll likely not pop a tire (though I could certainly be wrong), but metal 4-sided dice are absolutely a thing too. Where's the line?

They ARE illegal. Lighting specifications for on-road use are dictated by the Federal Highway Administration. If you look at the package for any of these super bright lights, you'll see a line that says "not legal for highway use" or "off-road use only". You can have them, but you can't use them on public roads. The local LEOs generally do not care about it, or else they don't have jurisdiction to enforce federal laws.
