Are Suicide Knobs Legal ???

Back in the 80's I had a set of mirrored sunglasses I couldn't read my gauges in a day cab!

 

The hell with the knobs, i used to drive a mack with a massive steering wheel and when trying to crank the wheel fast while taking a turn, i would #### near break my fingers on the pillar between the door and the windshield. Anybody else ever catch a finger on that pillar? hurts like hell for sure!

 

I know this is an old thread but it was cracking me up. I started picturing those guys that roll with no air in there seats. Trying tofigure out how to use a Brodie knob on the bottom side of there steering wheel. lol

 

I don't get the "no air in the seats thing" low riders make it seem like they have a 8ft hood?

 

I had one of those when i drove a towtruck it was very useful in the areas i had to drive in like repo lots, car dealerships,auctions where everything is packed in like sardines.used it on a 4 car hauler as well going to the same places. Ran with it for years never broke a finger or caught a sleeve. The only times i ever hurt my hands was chaining cars down and thats required

 

I drive a mr mack I can't put air in the seat cause I won't be able to reach the pedals. lol

 

I see a lot of young guys riding real low in their trucks. I guess you would call them lowriders, I don't have any thing against them the picture just popped in my head and made me laugh.

 

Well in truth I'm petty sure the bull haulers started the low rider trend years ago, but some people like me can't stand a lot of air in that seat. I have always stayed low or at the bottom of the air ride for this reason. The 386 I'm in now, I just keep enough air to keep it
from bottoming out and that seems to work ok. Don't like my head in the clouds personally. I would rather bottom out than slam my head in the roof.

 

I generally don't use them. I also remove them when I come across one. Those things can break bones before you know it when you are crawling across a little wee curb back in the old days of non power steering. You developed the brawn necessary to rotate those #### wheels sitting still prior to backing. It's good for a young man.

Today's trucks can be turned with a finger. Come on now you wussies. lol.
