(not my image. I just find these comical and incredibly dangerous)

    They aren’t.

    Confidently incorrect. Maybe they’re illegal some places, but definitely not most places. In Texas, they’re not illegal, but it can be illegal if they make your vehicle more than 8 feet wide. Since they’re usually on sedans, they usually don’t hit 8 feet.

    Also they’re more specifically a thing in Black culture in Houston. I see them pretty rarely in other Texas cities

      what? they are a pedestrian hazard, how would these not be illegal in every state?

      Americans proving their inability to understand their country isn’t the world just never stops.
      You’d ever only see these in the US, it doesn’t matter if they’re specifically illegal elsewhere because it just doesn’t happen (on normal roads, outside very rare shows etc.).
      It’s so fucking tiring not being able to get away from 'Muricans like you who are so deep into their own shit that you’re unable to even start to understand anything else.
