Saw a pickup on I10 not long ago had a light bar on the roof lighting up both side of the highway. It was fucking absurd. What a total and complete dick head.
In Colorado at least, you'd get a ticket for not having physical light covers installed on any lights other than your standard headlights and (possibly, I can't remember the details) fog lights. light bars and anything else had to be covered if you were on a public road. I know of at least one case of a person actually receiving a ticket for it. that should be a law everywhere.
Colorado is one of the biggest offenders. Cattle trucks everywhere. And this state is like 87% Jeep owners. I've never had a Tesla blind me worse than a Jeep. Maybe it's a frequency thing. Just because it comes with the vehicle doesn't make it right.
For real. Those light bars are for when you are out back in Bumfuck, Mississippi. Not the damn interstate.
