The headlights are at exactly the height to blind everyone who isn't also in a truck as well. I'm convinced that auto manufacturers do this on purpose to force everyone into a size arms race.
Big vehicles lile trucks in America have lower emissions requirements, which makes them cheaper to make and they can sell them for a higher profit to these insecure dumb fucks, so it's in their interest to make and sell large trucks
This was an aftermarket raise, so not really the responsibility of the manufacturer in this specific case
Yeah it should be on the state for letting this thing pass basic safety inspection.
Shit like this shouldn't be street legal.
Perfect case in point....this truck is parked on the street. If that spot is the last spot before a parking lot entrance, there is no way for people turning out of that parking lot to see if it's clear or not. It's a hail-mary every fucking time. There was one of these parked in such a spot outside my kids daycare every single day last year.
And if they were to file a police report because they were mysteriously smashed, they'd get in trouble for illegal modification, yes?
I lived on the ground floor, and the idea of smashing headlights of some vehicles came to me many times.
