SQUATTED TRUCKS TO BE BANNED IN MISSISSIPPI? (02/13/24)
From SUPERTALK MISSISSIPPI
Legislation has been introduced by Rep. Fred Shanks, R-Brandon, that would outlaw “squatted” vehicles, or those whose front ends are raised four or more inches above the height of the rear fender. The alteration essentially positions the front headlights of a vehicle to face toward the sky while the back lights stare at the ground.
Shanks, who test-drove a squatted truck to validate his concerns about the threat they pose to public safety, is looking to follow a move kickstarted by North Carolina – where the vehicle moderations allegedly began – which bans them from operating on roadways.
“I have actually done my due diligence. I have a buddy who worked on one of those trucks and I drove it around a parking lot. You cannot see what is in front of you for a good distance,” Shanks said on The Gallo Show. “It changes the geometry of the factory suspension. It’s very dangerous.”
In early January, a six-year-old girl was struck and killed by a squatted truck in the driveway of her Smith County home. Shanks cited the incident as evidence of the danger these types of vehicles constitute.
To keep squatted vehicles off the road in Mississippi, the GOP lawmaker has proposed the following punishments to be levied against those convicted of operating the altered automobiles:
First offense – $100 fine
Second offense – $200 fine
Third offense – $300 fine and a one-year suspension of the squatted vehicle operator’s license
If an offense occurs after five years since the last one took place, it will not be counted as a secondary offense, preventing an additional pricetag or charge from being added to the fine the perpetrator would face.
In the other chamber of the capitol building, Sen. Jason Barrett, R-Brookhaven, drafted a similar bill to prohibit such modifications to vehicles. Shanks is hopeful that the House and Senate can work together to come up with uniform legislation in conference if the two bills advance.
