What is the height requirement for vehicle bumpers?

For cars, the requirement is two-inches plus or minus manufacturers' specifications.

And I like this one.

May you ride in the back of a pickup without a topper?

Yes, if you are over 16 years of age and seated in the box. It is illegal to sit on the sides. No child under the age of 16 may ride in the open cargo area of light trucks.

People disagree with me that this is legal...

That last one I did not know. Do they get seatbelt tickets if pulled over then?

No. You should have no problems as long as you are sitting inside the bed itself.

Pretty sweet, huh?
