RCW 46.61.680
Lowering passenger vehicle below legal clearance — Penalty.

It is unlawful to operate any passenger motor vehicle which has been modified from the original design so that any portion of such passenger vehicle other than the wheels has less clearance from the surface of a level roadway than the clearance between the roadway and the lowermost portion of any rim of any wheel the tire on which is in contact with such roadway.

 

This isnt bad. This is common sense. It means that you cant have ground clearance less than the height of your sidewalls. The only people this screws are Honda/Acura **** that cut springs and make cops think anyone with a hot 4 cylinder is a F&F cast member reject.

true dath

 

Thats how I read it too...

 

I have no idea why, but I find this statement hilariously funny.

 

Yeah this isn't a bad thing. Figuring htat most of us wont want to be retarded enough to drop our cars that low this shouldn't effect any of us.

 

we all should look at it as a good thing... This law should pick up 1/2 the honda population. It might just clean up the street a bit.

 

JohnB FTW!

 

ooh boy.....

I thought half the honda population were law abiding, speed limit conscious innotech employees.

+1 its funny, i agree it just makes it a bad for the ricers, even now i still get that occasional stare down from cops ready to slap a ticket "too fast and too furious"

 

im kinda busy lundburg... im gonna have to ask you to come back another time

 

If you look at case law this section has been used to pull cars over for nothing more than appearing lowered, that was my point. Much like the exhaust law, you may not actually be in violation of the section but, they still have the ability to pull you over without a set and standardized measure.

Unless you are actually dragging something on the ground or have vehicle related item lower than the lowermost portion of the rim you are not forseeably in violation of this law.

The next section they will add may state that any vehicle operating on the street without a specific predescribed destination after a certain time of day is illegal.........welcome to the progression to martial law and a police state.

 

Dude I am an intern right now at this corporation and each time I think of or walk through the building feel like I might as well be in office space...

Welcome to the late 90's nice to have you here. I knew full well where you were going with it, but this isnt anything new and its not anything different than whats been happening for quite awhile. I had just been trying to be funny, thanks for ruining it.

1984 wasnt a typo, ask anyone with google earth. You think that the scheiss the government has is that pixelated? Or is just now in their possession?

 

John - the point is that where it may have been happening since the late 90's it is now law. Where before we all knew they were pushing thier limits and you could get off on the letter of the law....not the case anymore.

Hey, but, thanks for the history lesson as you can see I am quite behind the times, not well researched, and completely inept at legal matters.

Your comment is not well received....................
