      @LegalEagle
      (Most) modern diesel engines don't have a throttle the way that gasoline engines do. They "throttle" by first adding fuel, and then the added combustion energy spools the turbo, adding supporting airflow to increase engine power output. It is desirable for many diesel owners to have their engine control system tuned by aftermarket providers to increase power, throttle response, and even to improve fuel economy.
      Obviously, this can be taken to the extreme, and a few dopes will have ruined this (aftermarket tuning) for the rest of us (like always). Generally, a small "puff" of smoke is indicative of turbo lag. The sustained output of black smoke when "rolling coal" is a deliberate act and potentially damaging to the engine.

      Detectors are usually not illegal for one, for two your youth must have been fairly recently because adaptive cruise and side collision detection is a fairly new feature on cars (I'm onto you).
      And lastly, cheap radar detectors will detect an automatic door from a mile away easily. It's the ability to know it's not a threat, and filter it out, that you pay for.

    Growing up as a girl in the 90s in a rural area with a TON of long and desolate stretches of roadway, one of the first things I learned about the police is that you never, EVER pull over for an officer at night. You call dispatch and tell them to inform the officer that you will not pull over until you can reach a gas station or someplace well-lit and relatively populated. Because you don't know if those flashing lights belong to an actual officer or some rando with strobe lights.

      Pennsylvania, firefighters are permitted blue lights without sirens. Location and type are at owners’ discretion, interior lights were illegal until about five years ago. Many other states permit firefighters to have reds and a siren (myself included). That said, there is wicked penalties for using them when not on a call or on scene at an emergency, and for the love of god, don’t initiate traffic stops.

      Roads are often built inappropriately for the posted speed limit. Usually they're far too wide. Speed trap towns are common along highways, where the same road you were driving 75 on suddenly has a speed limit of 40 as you drive through the town. If we designed our roads better, we wouldn't need to rely on traffic cops and radars to keep the desired speed.

    In relation to firearms, keep an eye out for the word "loaded" as it is often the key word in many of these laws. In many states the difference between legal, and illiegal is as simple as: is the firearm loaded or unloaded, assembled/disaassembled, visible/not visible to others, or accessable/inaccessable to the occupants. What is even more confusing is that some states require the opposite of other states. Sort of like how some states make it illegal to conceal carry a firearm, presumably so that with everyone open carying, other people can see who has a weapon and anyone attempting to hide weapon can be assumed dangerous and authorities alerted. Other states might make it illegal to open carry to prevent people from being triggered by a past trauma just because you're carying a weapon.

    Where I live, which isn't in the US, there's a law protecting citizens against people impersonating the police. If you're driving in an area with very little traffic and/or other potential witnesses, e.g. in the countryside, you can legally refuse to pull over if the police officer (or impersonator) is driving an unmarked vehicle. You are however obligated by law to seek a safe place to pull over, e.g. at a gas station, as soon as possible. You can't get in legal trouble for refusing to pull over in such cases. However, this doesn't give you immunity against any other infractions or crimes you may be committing while driving. It's even part of law enforcement policy to not bother pulling over people for simple infractions, i.e. anything that wouldn't make you go to jail, if the officer is driving an unmarked vehicle. This means that if you later complain to the police, there's a chance the officer in question will get reprimanded. You may even call 911 while being tailed by an unmarked vehicle ordering you to pull over in the middle of nowhere. They'll be able to contact the police and verify if the person tailing you is really a member of law enforcement. If it turns out to be an impersonator, they'll send real police officers after the impersonator. They might even direct you to lead the impersonator into an ambush.

You can also call 999 and ask if it is genuine (you decide whether you want to do that whilst driving or not). A genuine officer will appreciate the optics of the stop and accommodate the caution. Or they will wait until you are in a more clearly lit and safe area before signalling to stop. There are exceptions, such as dangerous or drunk driving where it may be imperative to stop straight away, and the police will factor that into their decision and how to do it.

    I'd love to hear from LegalEagle about semitransparent license plate covers. He apparently lives in DC areas (as I do), so he must see them a lot, especially on VA cars. For those who don't know, this is a permanent cover made of transparent plastic, and people claim it is is to protect the plate from fading or damage (clearly BS). The plastic is tinted which makes reading the plate much harder. The outer surface is also usually convex, and I suspect the only reason for that is to create a reflection to obscure the tag when a speed camera flashes its light. How can these be legal?

      For example: take the County class heavy cruisers of the royal navy. To meet the maximum 10'000 ton limit, they had no belt armour. But you would notice them riding suspicously high in the water. After the treaties were dispensed with, they recieved an armoured belt and suddenly rode at about the right height in the water. Make of that what you will...
      Or the japanes Mogami class "light" cruisers. They had turrets with 6" guns but by pure coincidence, the IJN had some 8" gun turrets laying around in a warehouse that would - again by pure coincident - end up replacing the 6" turrets on the Mogamis...

Most of the people with the lift kits and bigger tires will never actually make use of the additional capability. Most don't even seem to understand that their vehicle is actually less safe that way. I've had a bunch of them complain about brakes wearing out too fast because the brake system was completely ignored and now has to stop all that additional weight. At the same time, most of those vehicles don't track properly and they suffer from reduced visibility. (Sure, they're easier for everyone else to see, but they can't see nearly as much as they could with the vehicle stock) Those trucks are a danger to everyone in a car.

      I've been mentally compiling stats on bad drivers in my state and found that roughly 75-80% of the time when someone does something really stupid on the road, it's a pickup truck or SUV. Most of the rest are sports cars, of course. When a sedan or coup does something stupid, I usually exclaim out loud about it because it's so uncommon.
      Now, most people say that the reason people in big vehicles are bad drivers is that the big vehicles are harder to control and see out of. This is not true. It's _easier_ to see from a pickup or SUV due to the high position and the large mirrors (at least, if the mirrors are adjusted correctly). Control only becomes an issue if the person is speeding.
      The _real_ reason large vehicle drivers are terrible is that you have to be stupid to buy a large vehicle.
      Think about it: unless you work construction or on a farm, how often do you use the bed of your pickup? Once, maybe twice a year, if that? The people I know with trucks don't even use them that much. Since a truck costs at least $10,000 (usually $20,000) more than a car with comparable capacity outside the bed, that means you're spending that much, as well as double the fuel costs, in order to be asked to help everyone you know move.
      As for SUVs: they're minivans with higher ground clearance and a longer front end, but cost thousands more and frequently have even less horsepower. That's pretty stupid unless you need it to go off-road, but many "SUVs" don't actually have any greater ground clearance than a minivan or car. If it's a "crossover" type, it definitely does _not._ And again, how often do most SUV drivers go off-road? Even less than pickup owners use their truck beds.
      As for towing, a minivan can tow as well or better than any SUV and most trucks. Only a "super duty" truck has more horsepower. The same was true of station wagons back when they existed.

    I’d never thought of it before, but I can see the utility of the license plate curtain. If you have an expensive, collectible car that you send to shows and parades, I can see that you might not want to make it any easier for interested parties to look up the ownership. If your car is a magnet for photography…
    Actually, it could be useful when you are trailering the car. Aside from the privacy issues, it would eliminate confusion of automated license plate readers (which could have trouble differentiating the trailer plate from the trailered car). I’ve received a bill from a toll road for a vehicle that was being trailered. I paid via a transponder, but the detected plate didn’t match the towing vehicle.

    @11:00 the exhaust cutouts are tricky, it's not that it's illegal to have that valve installed, it's just illegal to use a valve to dump exhaust gasses without it passing through the vehicles emissions devices, like a catalytic converter and muffler, you can use these if and only if the exhaust also passes through a catalytic converter and muffler, for example my old truck had one of these valves but it simply rerouted the exhaust through a second aftermarket muffler that allowed me to make it loud or quiet at a flick of a switch while still being legal

    Yea... I remember the the anti hijacking flamethrower.
    It was very well-known but is and has always been VERY illegal to install.... But some people still did it.
    Crime is a serious problem here...

    Will you please do a episode of what the term "hearsay" means and its origin. I think the humor and abuse of it in Depp vs Heard case is ripe for a episode for it. I keep hearing my colleagues arguing about Heards' lawyer abusing it and the "You can unhear it". Complaining the court should be holding him in contempt for how much he is doing it. The fact he did it to himself yesterday was icing on the cake. If anything do you plan on making something of it eventually that won't get you in trouble? As for this video I loved it! as usual glad this one was made
