Lol, true. All of the good pavement they have is in construction zones on 80/90 all summer long.

Time to weld up a heavy walled "something" that will not tow
a trailer, and is strategically box around my license plate, so it's visible...and leave that in...Lol

its illegal to have a ball mount in a vehicle unless towing even if it doesnt block the plate

I don't see anything trailer hitch related.... can you quote or have a better link?

Just another BS law to harass the public about and collect more revenue, that won't go to fixing anything!

 

[beertestr]

its always been illegal to drive with a ball mount in without a trailer

Then why clarify the law regarding plate visibility?

Must be an issue with license plate readers not being able to generate revenue.

I leave my Beaver Step in most of the time.

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

Does not obstruct the plate good to go.

Many years back I was driving and stopped for an ambulance when a guy two cars behind me rear ended a suburban behind me at a stop light and sandwiched the suburban in the middle. I had a towing hitch on the rear of my car and it just devastated the front end of his suburban. Transmission fluid, freon, and coolant were pouring out. I had absolutely no damage to the rear of my Durango except the little trailer electrical flap ($5). I knew that I might get a ticket for the hitch being installed but the two other people were going to settle it without the police and I left without an issue. I think if the police were to show up then I would have received a ticket for the hitch.

So, you have to ask, why the fuck do they need to clarify anything about plate visibility?...

Your legislators at "work"...

Its a reason to pull someone over and issue at least one ticket.


I got pulled over on I75 for speeding, had my hitch on the truck. No issues, doesn't block the plate.

The shank is rusted into place on my "new" truck, luckily I got a hook-up on a new ClassIV receiver hitch.
