Alabama
Arkansas

ok so its on some insignificant list that some gps group put out based on the generalized rule that you cant have anything obstructing your view.key word for Washington of course is obstructing.the rcw is clear not gonna argue it,Heres more for you,reminder to change your oil (oil can henrys).cops have stuff on their dash all the time,parking stickers on windshields in king county all over the place.

Why ask a question and then argue with people who answer it. It's pretty clear that if it docent block the drivers view, it's legal. Mount it low and out of the way and you're fine. That's where mine is, and the portable satellite radio right next to it, so twit two on my windshield. I get pulled over periodically and no officer or trooper has ever said a thing to me about them.

Final point on this thread lol,Anyone that feels like bigtex or netcoyote on this subject,This state had to spend a ton of money on people like you to explain that it was also illegal to drive at night without a seatbelt lol.  :bash:

People get pulled over all the time for this, tickets? Eh it'll usually result in a ticket if you give them attitude.

How many of your trucks have tires extending past the wheel well without mudflaps? Another traffic violation in most states including WA
Really all the time? really?
