Found the guy with the jacked up truck, truck nuts, and aggressive bumper stickers.

First of all it is NOT victimless/useless. It is a significant safety concern. The higher the bumper is on a vehicle the more likely it is to cause major harm to the other's occupants.

Second it is not extortion to enforce safety rules. Do you believe it is extortion to enforce stop signs, one way streets, working headlights, and other safety requirements?

And finally, you do know the reason for this specific regulation and the history behind it? You do know that back in the day it was not regulated and after several horrific accidents we the people added this rule for a very good reason.

Ironically no, you found the guy that commutes by bicycle 😂😂😂

Caused has NOTHING to with it. Simply being in one is enough. We regulate vehicles for safety of everyone. Even those who fail to yield and cause an accident.

Where's your evidence of your assumptions towards the OP you replied to? That was the whole point of the response, to demonstrate why you shouldn't make such baseless assumptions on others just because you didn't like their response.
