Leave your trailer hitch on your truck???

oh well, if you use a ball on the bumper for towing, you are asking for trouble anyways

Not according to the court of appeals.

The Supreme Court JUST over ruled the court of appeals.

Dline. My hitch blocks my plate, and it's not a bumper ball.
 
Yeah, they haven't decided if it is illegal to obstruct the plate while towing a trailer...Now what? Also, can't mount the plate vertically like so many motorcycles and trailers do. Mine is mounted vertically on the trailer fender.....

grr
 
Are there very many vehicles with a receiver hitch that will block the plate when the ball is installed? I assumed, like Dline, that it would really only apply to a bumper with a ball bolted to it.

Nope, its a huge No-no for us to block a plate design wise,
 
another law...

Wonder if making it legal for LLE to ticket illegal handicap parking is possible. IE: Someone parks in a handicap only space and doesn't have proper authorization to do so and a cop see's/acts accordingly with a hefty fine.
 
It will be a money thing when they mandate it. Hopefully it doesnt happen. How much more can they ask for?
 
I leave my Beaver Step in most of the time.

Looks like this (without the tow strap hanging on it).
