Fun fact: the flamethrower at 4:55 is called The Blaster and it actually has an interesting backstory. It wasn’t some crazy, unhinged mod, it was an actual defense mechanism meant to deter carjackers in South Africa. More importantly, it was LEGAL. See, back in the late 90’s, Johannesburg was the violent crime capital of the world, particularly in carjackings at stop lights. The Blaster was created as a lethal defense mechanism, since the carjackings more often than not resulted in the death of the driver. The South African government ruled that the sale and use of the Blaster was 100% legal on the grounds of self-defense. The only problem was it was super expensive, not counting the custom bodywork required to install it. About 50 units were sold, but poor sales meant it was discontinued a few years later.

[@jer1014t2th]

Absolutely legal yep It can't be an automated anti-theft device; but a human-activated self defense tool is (probably) generally legal *IF* lethal force is warranted when it is activated.

[@fracnis6309]

So having lived in JHB in the 90's, I'll confirm that this device was NEVER legal in South Africa, it merely took advantage of a loophole in the local legislation. There was a lot of 'hot' 😜 debate around it when it made headlines, only to be confirmed by the SAPS that such devices were completely illegal. It was then replaced by another completely legal version that deployed pepper-laced paint instead.

[@kikixchannel]

@@jer1014t2th You're not allowed to have and use illegal devices, even if it is for legal purpose.

It's kinda wild that, in the US "Oh yeah, that just broke" is an excuse that works on the cops - here in Australia, the cops will stick a Yellow Sticker on your car that basically indicates "this car better be driving to the mechanic to get fixed, and nowhere else" if you say that.

[@Jay22222]

In both countries, as with anywhere else, it’s completely dependent on what’s broken and the attitude of both you and the cop. In my opinion your explanation of “the yellow sticker” is completely incorrect. Your car being defected will cost you at minimum, $1000 And removing/tampering with the large sticker in the middle of the windshield isn’t just civil, it’s a criminal offense that will also cost you several thousand more dollars. I think you’ve misinterpreted something somewhere. A cop might use their discretion to “allow” some sort of infringement on the premise that you are driving without detour to immediately address some issue but it’s not a right, you’d be foolish to take it for granted or mess about as even if being “permitted” you’re still taking a big risk.

From how much of the interstate lane he's taking up I'll bet he's over 104" wide. Instant tow truck, and because he's violated CMV laws the fines can be several thousand dollars. The judge may let him off easy, but they can ram it to him too. The pickup with the white lights would get a ton of tickets, but he'd lose out to the squatted Tahoe.

I wonder what the specific law says. Because over here, even when you are parked, you are considered a 'traffic participant' (if I'm translating that correctly) if you have your engine running and this would be illegal (assuming that is a public parking space of course).

11:30 Gotta disagree with Devin on this - many states have a law that says the wheels and tires cannot protrude out further than the body of the car. Usually this rule is applied to lifted pickup trucks with big tires - and usually skirted around by slapping on some cheap plastic wheel arches on the fenders.

[@phathomthis]

Exactly this. That or real extended towing mirrors, such as with Dodge Rams that I like to call moose, since they look like antlers. But normally it's a law places that the fenders/mudflaps have to be wide as the tires.

[@AnnAnonyme]

Yup. Where I live (in Canada) the regulation is "Hub caps shall be of such design and construction that minimizes the damage done to an object or injury to a person coming in contact with it." which covers lots of dumb stuff you could do to your wheels.

[@bmac3456]

I'm not 100% sure, but I believe in Houston, the rims can't go past the mirrors. Those rims are def illegal now.

To all my fellow Californians, looks like as long as we get a permit the flamethrower mod is a go! Health and Safety Code - HSC 12750 - 12761 (a) “Flamethrowing device” means any nonstationary and transportable device designed or intended to emit or propel a burning stream of combustible or flammable liquid a distance of at least 10 feet. The State Fire Marshal shall seize any flamethrowing device in the possession of any person who does not have a valid flamethrowing device permit issued pursuant to this part.

Interesting how it falls back to that. What if it didn't shoot flames? What if the car just puffs a cloud of pepperspray? Or a really strong blast of compressed air?

I've seen a toned-down tasteful version of the "rave brake lights" you analyzed, and if they're handled well they're great. Basically, instead of the wild and random lights they do a standard soft-red for braking, a light-show-style sweep of lights left or right for turn signals, which is SHOCKINGLY effective at indicating how they want to turn, and best of all a brighter red with a single flash if they do a hard brake suddenly. In other words, the tech that allows for the kinda-dumb light show Can Be Used For Good.
