driving with wall

[galacticmonkey 5,000+ posts]

Its a clear obstruction of veiw u have just been lucky and the area u live in may help a lot with that come to Michigan and see how long it takes...if a cop wants to b an *** they can even pull u over for that junk clouding your veiw even if you are moving.

No they cant. Youre a moron. Theres nothing illegal about not having a view to the rear. What about limos? Dump trucks? Semis? Delivery vans? UPS drivers? Lets throw them all in jail because they are breaking some imaginary law where you have to see behind you.

Anyway, driving with a wall is easy. Just know whats around you and pay attention. I drove an Express just like the one in the picture with a wall for 2 years. Was my daily driver, and never had a rear view camera. Unless you go heavy duty on the system, dont worry about the breaks. I had about 6,000lbs of stereo equipment (speakers/amps/batteries/wood/wire/etc) in the van and only got in one fender bender because it wouldnt stop in time.

But for what youre doing, Im sure you will be just fine.

walled cars should need to have the owners pass class b cdl test.

Having spoke to a judge about this your wrong. I've seen people get tickets for a crack in their windshield and they wernt that had seen this several times, seen people get pulled over for no rearveiw mirror for a light insidebof their vehical being "too distracting " I keep black tape over my amps lights...
Sorry your wrong and just have been lucky...move to Michigan where my ex gf got a 250 dollar noise violation at 3 in the afternoon in front of a collage campus and she only had 3 12 inch wallmart duals in a sealed box.

I wont argue just flat out telling you that your wrong take it or leave it doesn't matter to me.

A cracked windshield is an obstruction. A sound ordnance has no validity in this topic though.

Sorry I upset you with truth as it stands. If you would like to fall victim of being naive that is on you. My brother is a lawyer that I feel carries more weight then what you speak of.

If they have put a special area in the law about it there is not much they can do other then complain. I think we all should be required to have review cameras and such, but as it stands there is no obstruction of view with a wall. Yes, you can no see out the back window, but that is not an obstruction by most state laws.

why?

Because of the lack of being able to view directly behind you.

 

[wenn_du_weinst 10+ year member]

because people drive poorly enough, now make the car top heavy and get rid of them being able to see behind them.

in NY as long as you have two side mirrors you dont have to be able to see out of the rear of the car.

I'm a moron?? Lol idiot u need a special liscends to drive every single vehical u named not only that they have extra and special mirrors to help them navigate...you guys are nieve if you think how you think.

Like j said there isn't **** to argue about because I know between because I've literally experienced and seen other wise..like I said u just been lucky and the areas u live in I'm sure help with that...

You can even get pulled over foe having stuff hang from your mirror and get a ticket. Same reason neons are illegal in most states

 

[knotdrummer88 10+ year member]

sometimes to drive big *** commercial trucks you dont even need a cdl. I mean like the box trucks, that have the cab and the real big "box" behind it, I don't know how to better explain it haha. oh yeah, like the really big u haul trucks. You don't need a cdl for those, so why need a specials license to drive a smaller vehicle?

Maybe you shouldn't live in a state that sucks?

 

[shithawk 10+ year member]

its techinically illegal to have anything obstructing your view to the front or behind you, although im sure it varies state to state but i have been ticketed for stuff on the mirror and also for my hatchetman sticker being to big on the back. and to drive a box truck, limo, dump truck etc, you need at least a class c liscense in most states.

and lol @ " only once have i been in an accident bc of not being able to stop in time" no matter how good of a driver you are, how carefully you drive, accidents are called accidents for a reason and they will happen, i think it would be wise to upgrade your brakes and suspension before driving around with that much weight.

word.

The legalities of anything blocking your rear view is state limited and even then are sketchy at best. I , nor my brother, have found a definitive law that would keep walls out of a vehicle. There are many grey areas that can be exploited by lawyers. It is an interesting debate for sure, but nothing solid any where on it. If you get a ticket get a lawyer, pretty simple.
