I lived by a historic covered bridge as a kid. The people in the area would have been PISSED if something like this happened. The bridge was originally designed for horses and buggies, so if your vehicle weighed too much, you couldn't go on it.

How the fuck is putting everyone in undue danger legal? You’re free to put other people in harms way.

Even if this were illegal (and it may or may not be), it would only be a problem for the driver if cops chose to enforce whatever the relevant regulation was. If a cop pulled this abomination over, it would only be to admire it.

Fun fact: cops in the US are not required to actually know the laws they're enforcing.

It is stupid, but I get it....I like dumb shit too. The lights show off the suspension and whatnot, but to have them on WHILE DRIVING‽ What a prick.

I think the front end is commonly used for heavy duty commercial purposes like dump trucks, but selling it for consumer purposes should be illegal.

The view through that hole in the bridge looks like something out of Soul Reaver.
