Unfortunately, in California, cars’ tires cannot extend past the fenders.

MB: “But those aren’t tires. They’re inflated ballutes!”

Frankly, a 9-year-old could have handled that presentation and said the same stuff that guy came up with. :sweat_smile:

That law is common in most states - and equally unenforced. I’ve seen plenty of trucks with tires extending way past the wheel wells. Some are driven by LEOs.

As far as wanting to get rid of a bit of evidence, that’s a rather draconian solution.

Let the games begin!

I saw the worst ever implementation of a “rolling coal” diesel pickup truck the other day. The unfiltered, unmuffled exhaust went straight out of the hood directly in front of the passenger. So, yes, the exhaust blows directly onto the windshield, up over the cab, then down into the eddy currents of the pickup bed. So the windshield is going to turn black, the occupants are going to get choked out if they ever open the rear sliding window, and it drives down the road with a gray, toxic cloud in the pickup bed.

“We are curious about the story behind this act,” police said on social media. The police caught the all-electric vehicle’s driver less than two weeks before the national energy price cap will take effect, which should lower the electricity bills for most average consumers.

As newspaper AD noted, operating an electric car was extremely cheap last year, but is now often more expensive to run than vehicles consuming petrol or diesel. The newspaper detailed that an electric car which uses 15 kWh of electricity per 100 kilometers costs 12.60 euros to cover that distance.

By comparison, the BMW 530i uses 5.5 liters of petrol for the same range, according to a press release from the manufacturer. Petrol and diesel currently sells for 1.88 at Dutch highway filling stations, according to United Consumers, putting the BMW’s cost per 100 kilometers at 10.34 euros.“

Let’s hope that price disparity doesn’t continue.
