      I had a dickweed in a lifted truck pass me last night. That fucker had like 12 lights on the front. They lit up the area like daylight. Why cant the NTSB make a change for what is legal so we can get these dicks off the road.

        The NTSB is not a legislative government body, they are an investigative government body, they can only make recommendations for other government bodies to act on

          I think the agency would be the NHTSA, but I don’t know much teeth they have in making or enforcing regulations.

      Went to Houston recently for a thing and the number of lifted trucks I saw was astonishing. Most of them didn’t even have the wheels to fit the lifted trucks either so they just looked super awkward. The dumbest one I saw was a lifted SUV where only the front wheels were lifted.

        The ones with regular wheels might be the better ones. Some fraction of them have a different set of off-road tires they swap to rather than drive on 40" all the time.
