Look that's fair enough, I understand your views and respect you are a technician so no disrespect here, and neither was I giving disrespect to the lady officer, I was chuckling at the rule not the officer enforcing the rule, it was just stupid how the rules have gone so far even after removing guns we still find ways on making anything seem like a weapon. and I guess we are at a disagreement here. Just so you know I have been a mechanic for majority of my life and cars use to be my thing every day. I will say this, Australia is a peaceful country but its not because we removed guns in my opinion, its because the Australian culture is just simply different. We still banned video games and heavily censored them in the 90s and early 2000s even after banning guns, because why not, we took guns away, why not take everything else that can be assumed deadly for the public as well. The USA is ran completely different, the public have a lot more freedom and less monetisation than Australia.. for what we know of anyway with the insane amount of restrictions we have here.
I just wanted to add, there are two ways on lowering a car, there's professionally and unprofessionally. We use to get a bunch of P platers come in every week wanting there springs cut because they wanted a low car, sure I 100% agree that caused strain on the chassis and wheels etc. However a professionally lowering on a car includes supporting the chassis with minimal wear and tear and allowing the car to have increased handling and traction without much flaws. Yes I will agree when it comes to head on collisions it will affect the impact however its a two way street here too. Where you fail in one aspect you gain in another. Even when cars have head on collisions it still doesn't always end well regardless of your cars height, its just more of a slighter chance you will survive obviously depending on the accident at hand. That will always differ because each accident is different to the other. However with a professionally lower car you add more traction and wheel grip to avoid other kind of accidents etc. But the government choose to take that away because well.. back to my original point.
I also ride a motorbike and the face shield on a helmet is considered the same as a car's windscreen. We accept we are not allowed to tint the front windscreens on our cars black, same would go for bike helmets as well otherwise it would be dumb as you need to see in front of you at all times. I 100% agree with that but disagree with the tinting of the sides and rear windows. People just are not allowed to have privacy it seems.
Your last point is spot on, that is also a universal point you make. Same can be said the other way around.
Anyway, lets just agree to disagree. Again no disrespect just my point of view on the topic at hand.
