    If you need laws that say you need an unobstructed view to drive, you shouldn't be driving.

    You & I both know that common sense tells us that.. but it seems common sense has been bred out of a majority of Americans because our fine lawmakers have passed enough nanny laws over the years that it has not allowed Darwinism to take its natural path
    IDK.. maybe the of Coke-Cola & Pop Rock fad of my generation mess up the DNA of those that survived that gemick and that's way Common Sense is a rare commodity nowdays

    I think they should have just passed a law that required them to just put a big warning label on the windshield instead. “Warning- visual obstruction by objects placed over windshield glass is a violation of the law” with any disclaimer added at the bottom in bigger bolder letters that says “removal of this label is a violation of federal law and a mandatory 25 year ro life sentence”.

    I, ONCE, Received An Infraction in AZ, I-10,W.B. Scale for Having a Directional Device "attached" To Inner Windscreen.
    officer stated some gobbledeguk about it was a fed thing against distraction as well in a Wiper track. Right, "wiper track" Inside Glass.
    So Now Such Will Be Legal.

    I Refer To Post #9.

    That picture is a joke but I've seen a truck parked in Scranton with 5 GPS's on the windshield. How the hell do these people figure out where they're going? Who needs more than one?

    I was looking for a pic I saw of a semi with several mounted on the windshield and thought maybe I saw it here. I personally use a garmin dezl that has probably 400 waypoints for our customers. I use it mostly for eta.
    I'm old so my maps and map skills I'm taking to the grave.
