      No, it isn’t.

      Cops just don’t enforce it (it’s probably not a moving violation, just an inspection one.)

      Wheels must be fully enclosed so they don’t throw debris up.

        Those wheels also grab pedestrians and cyclists and pull them under the vehicle at intersections. Record numbers of pedestrians getting killed but we decided to prioritize toxic masculinity.

          If you mow down enough pedestrians and cyclists, there will be fewer of them, thus reducing the death statistics. It’s a problem that solves itself

            Unless it hits the road and bounces up. Happened to my parents when a metal chunk got kicked up by a truck in front of them, it hit the ground right in front of them and pierced their muffler. Claim denied.

              When you go to Luigi them, make sure the bullet ricochets off the ground so they don’t have a life insurance claim.

              they probably said as much, they should have kept story short - out of wheels straight into my windshield. license plate. nothing else. insurance wont be spending time figuring it out. glass is cheap, agent time isnt.

      Not in US, not in Canada, but police stopped working in 2020. They figured out the get paid just as much.
