And yet we can’t have our Ct without mirrors? . I guess that’s more considered a safety hazard? wow. Well then.

I wonder how an insurance company would deal with horns mounted on hood if it led to an injury. Anyone here who handles insurance?
I did come across this from an article.

As a general matter, aside from the apparent safety issues, it could be a significant factor raised by a plaintiff in an accident. It could also be an issue raised by your insurance company in an accident, to your detriment, coverage-wise or defense-wise.

personally, I would not want to leave myself nor may family open for such a possible legal attack.

Liability will be argued fore or against based upon the circumstances of an injury caused by the horns.

Did it have Texas plates? California plates? Or some other state?
if it was registered in California it should have a front plate bracket unless the owner took it off

or never put it on like me. They don’t enforce it locally

Yeah, if you want an example of 'white guy privilege' it"s front plates.

White-looking hispanic here, and I was hassled a lot in both CA and AZ for no front plate. AZ dropped that idiot law though.
