I didn't realize excessive camber was a violation.

Poor FRS, it's intended purpose has been ruined by a dude-bro :(

At the very least, it's a violation of common sense

I hate it when cops got better tools than me.

Why is that?

Do I think it looks appealing? No. However, unless someone can cite a reason that this would be a safety hazard for the driver and those around him, I really don't see why others should care. At the end of the day, it's this individual's vehicle and he or she can do whatever they want to it as long as it doesn't pose a risk to others.

Probably the wheels are to far out from the body.

Why would the police deem this as an issue? I feel like as long as the vehicle fits in its lane, it shouldn't matter.

That PD really has a hard on for these stancers. It makes me wonder why they don't pull over bro-truck drivers, too. After all, their driveshafts are at excessive angles which could lead to U-joint failure.

-L degrees? I don't get it!

It stresses a part of the wheel that's not meant to recieve that much force. The guys from HRE talked about it on the latest Smoking tire podcast

Unless he's calling himself a tool.

it looks like a tool bike shops use to bend back deraileur hangers.....

That makes sense, but roads aren't just straight. With wheels far out like this one then the driver could easily misjudge how they should turn and could easily cause an accident by hitting something with an unprotected part of the car that is jutting out six inches.

Extreme lack of contact patch means braking and handling inefficiency that is a legitimate safety concern, as well as the fact that this will demolish tires and often stress suspension components and wheels beyond tolerance.

It's an issue because it's illegal. If you wish to get the law overturned, go ahead...The police really can only issue a citation based on law

Like the camber? Or the ticket?

Ticket, or whatever the cop is using. I know we are pretty accepting, and in the car community we should take what we can get, but this is just like lifted trucks in my opinion. Most of the time, you are just fucking up your car, and the geometry is completely off making the car less safe.

Seriously, that gauge is over $200.

Probably because the contact patch of the tire is minimized and therefore reduces control in unexpected situations.
