Violation for Spinner Knob On Steering Wheel

13 pages and nobody really proved they're illegal in the eyes of the FMSCA. Why do so many truck drivers believe everything they hear?

 

I believe everything that I hear, everything posted on TTR, and nothing I see with my own eyes.

That's why my threads have polls, so I know what to do.

 

Pretty ###### handy for backing. Hell, any turn of ninety-degrees or more. And since all of this use is at low speeds, it’s the second steering wheel.

I install on the bottom center of the wheel. It’s just not in the way. Used to have it at ten o’clock. It WAS in the way.

By touch, I also know if the wheel is straight or not.

 

I've used one ever since I messed up my shoulder in a motorcycle accident

 

Motorcycles are dangerous.

 

If I blow a steer tire, (never have I buy good tires and cycle them out way before that's a problem) my "sissy knob" (really?) Will be the least of my worries..
I have one on MY truck, it's handy for backing up. Guess I'm a big "sissy"

 

So it's OK then? Lol excellent...

 

Laws Regarding Spinner Knobs

 

The way I read that is they must be installed on the spoke not on the wheel. So legal but with stipulations.
The Pete I had the steering wheel was built with a spinner mount built in.

 

But sure are fun though
