Interesting. I didn't know it was actually *illegal* per se. So even
though some dumbass might cut you off and cause an accident, you're
supposedly at fault because you couldn't swerve around the idiot.
Stupid, but I can definitely see that argument being made, and won.

So, don't do as I have been bad and done in the past! Don't be lazy!
Keep that sucker attached until you're off-road, and remember to put
it back on again after! ;-)

Hi Bob,
It probably falls into the anything modified area that makes it
illegal, here in San Diego we have the rice racers, which regularly
crash, and the fault is assigned as soon as the cop sees the telltale
blue painted springs they use.

It is a major safety item on the vehicle.

I was in a bad fender bender and was told this from both the police and
my insurance rep. They 'really' look for unsafe modifications and on a
4x4 anti sway bars on and matching tires are 'really' important.

My vehicle was in perfect shape which helped me be found the not at
fault driver in court.

They consider taking the bar off tampering with safety equipment and
would have tossed the book at me.
