How do the cops measure your cars hieght? What hieght is illegal and what is legal?

 

It varies from state to state. Each state has it's own set of laws that deal with it.

yup , in Cali I think they measure your car's "height" from the center of the headlight. I think it has to be something like 22" ???

Thanks

 

Wow the center of my headlights is about 20.5"... good thing they don't check for that stuff around here.

 

In PA they measure from the flat part directly between the headlights of your front bumper.

 

im pretty sure here in WV , no one cares..in sumways WV is awesome.

 

in Canada if your front wheels arent rubbing while turning in not moving motion then you are fine.

 

been pulled over numerous times and cops never said anything about the height so i guess im good

or the cops are lazy

 

or they realize you have to be a really **** cop for giving someone a ticket for ride height when it's really not hurting anyone or causing any danger.

A lot of police tend to enforce the ideas behind laws rather than the laws themselves anyway. most won't give you a drunk in public unless you're causing trouble, etc.

edit: on the ride height thing. when someone's truck is raised high enough to run over a house, I think it should be considered dangerous and they should be ticketed

dude, i totally agree...nothing against them, but i think this shouldnt be a one sided law

 

cops are never too lazy to give out tickets

 

Ya it really depends on what cop is pulling you over. I got a ticket for being lowered (I'm only on H&R Sports for Jeezys' sake). I did have a Mugen style front lip (now removed) and was on my 17"s. Afterward I looked up the law that he apparently thought I broke and the law stated that the lowest point on the vehicle's body cannot be lower than the lowest part of the vehicle's rim/wheel. So basically he thought that my front lip was too low, which is was not. Long story short...I didn't change the lip or my ride height at all and got it signed off soon after. Some cops are just dicks

 

anyone know where i could check up on these laws.. cuz i wanna see what kind of laws are here where i live..

and any one know off the top of there head or heard of anything of that over here in ALBUQUERQUE NEW MEXICO?

 

also the bottom of your liscense plate to the ground has to be atleast 10"

 

laws suck.

sounds like you are pretty young, we were once there. As you get older you have real places to go and real thing that need to get done. you don't have time to get pulled over and kiss *** to a cop so he writes you one less ticket. Having a ticket saying your car is "too low" is nothing to brag about, if it is... you're in High School.
