If you check out his column on autotrader dot com slash oversteer you’ll find out.

Trust me on this one; this is a law that exists for a very good reason.

Yeah, like motorcycles.

Counterpoint: it should be illegal to turn off your headlights. My old car wouldn’t let me. It was literally impossible for me to forget to turn them on or off. The number of people I see who need to have their lights on boggles the mind. It still took 100,000 miles to burn out the first set of light bulbs.

Why is that bad exactly? I’m speaking of the backup cameras in particular. The rear visibility is so poor on newer vehicles I’m 100% for it.

Two for New Jersey. Thank God I don’t live there.

No, wearing headphones while driving is a terrible idea.

Headlights should be permanently on if the car is turned on. There shouldn’t even be a headlight switch.

I do deserve one, which is why I bought one back in 2016.

I’ve lived here for years and that is one of the laws that there’s no argument for. It’s mind-boggling.

Memphis, Tenn. — If a woman is driving a car, a man must be in front of that car, waving a red flag, so as to alert all motorists that a woman is driving.

I’ve driven behind cars with the cats obviously cut out.

Keep the cat, please.

VIRGINIA IS THE STUPIDEST. No radar detectors? Really?

Yeah, but New Hampshire is kind of the Florida of New England.

Turn signals. They should be amber. Always. Never red.

What REALLY bakes my noodle is that the Germans actually go out of their way to make US/Canada-specific taillights with red directionals when the ones they use in Europe (with ambers) would be completely compliant in the US.

Cars only being sold through dealerships and not directly from the manufacturer.

25 year import rule. Thanks, Mercedes-Benz!

Easy: Front plate requirement. Ohio, requires it. Michigan (and damn near everyone else), not so much.

hnnnnnnng I’m in love

With a name like “IE” it’s bound to crash.
