can i get pulled over for this?

esonu · January 23rd, 2012, 03:58 PM

well i did get pulled over but with just a warning i guess. the cop told me i NEED mudflaps because my tires are too wide and in the rain the water sprays through too much traffic is this a actual ticket worthy thing? lol and the weird thing is a month ago i was wanting to buy em just not the time to just put in 100 in mudflaps lol.

blakenel1122 · January 23rd, 2012, 04:00 PM

you have a picture of how much they stick out? and I wouldnt do it, they belong on trucks and subies, they would look ridiculous on a mustang IMO

NickPohlAandP · January 23rd, 2012, 04:01 PM

I know that new car manufactureres are required to keep the tire in the fenderwell and allow for accomodations for things like snow chains, but I have no idea if it's required when you mod.

esonu · January 23rd, 2012, 04:04 PM

its not even sticking out

blakenel1122 · January 23rd, 2012, 04:07 PM

That car looks great! I honestly wouldnt put mud flaps on it. From the angle of the first shot, it looks like its still inside the fender?

LGHTNG02GT · January 23rd, 2012, 04:08 PM

i know here in PA you've got some work to do ONLY if your tires stick out past the fenders...personally if it was just a warning and no fix-it ticket i wouldnt worry about it unless the rare chance it would happen again.

EDIT:: now after seeing your pictures, i have no idea WTF the problem is...maybe the cop was just looking for something to do ??

i once got a fix-it ticket for tint on my old 04 Ranger. i peeled the tint off (20%) took the truck up to the police station to get the ticket signed then re-did my windows that same afternoon in 35%. it was a bit lighter but i never had problems with the police again. its a luck of the draw thing/depends on the officers mood that day.

What a joke... Mudflaps... I wouldn't do it!

NickPohlAandP · January 23rd, 2012, 04:11 PM

That's a bullshit ticket. The cop was probably just using that as an excuse to see if you were up to some bad shit. Your tires don't go past the fender at all. Fuck the pOlice, I said fuck, fuck da pOlice!!!

MT0911 · January 23rd, 2012, 04:12 PM

That sounds like BS. He probably was just having a bad day. Brush it off and move on -there are far worse things on the road to worry about than having mudflaps to block the water spraying up on to the cars behind you. <- that is what windshield wipers are for

SL1MDADDY · January 23rd, 2012, 04:14 PM

That is a stupid law if that is truly the case. I say forget the flaps. Your car sits nicely and has a great wheel stance.

ReverendDexter · January 23rd, 2012, 04:16 PM

Did he tell you what actual law it was?

That's where I'd start. I took a quick look at the California Vehicle Code and didn't find anything.

esonu · January 23rd, 2012, 04:20 PM

lol i got 285s in the rear. i was only going like 30mph in a 45 zone just cruisin home from school. i got a radar n shit was beepin for like 5 mins n i thought it was for someone else cuz im just relaxing and everybody else zoomin past me lol. but he didnt tell em any law he just said its a warning and its hazardous to the public lol.

SL1MDADDY · January 23rd, 2012, 04:24 PM

Sounds like you just had a run in with a jerk off cop.

esonu · January 23rd, 2012, 04:25 PM

and for a rare chance of it happening again it probably will cuz that guy is in my way of travel everyday and has gaven me two window tint tickets in the same intersection lol
