Kind of silly question, but isn't it illegal for a passenger car to be equipped with the suicide nob on the steering wheel if they don't have a physical medical condition permitting the operator to use such device? I could not find it in the law books. If it is there, I am not looking in the right spot.

Anyone know the CMR or chapter / section? :?:

I dont know the MGL or the CMR but I was under the same impression, I heard that a long time ago, sorry I dont the MGL/CMR, but I think your correct. Maybe one of the Troopers here may know the answer to that.

Bueler, Bueler??????

Suicide Nob

This topic seems to be old, but I am still curious as to what to write the "V" under. I investigated an accident the other day and the vehicle involved had it on the steering wheel. I ended up writing the kid for Speed greater than Reasonable and Proper for Conditions (heavy rain) and gave him the break on the nob.

Not sure either, was under the same impression that you need a physical impairment. Only though I have is an Equipment Violation, 90/7.

I remember hearing that too, never could quite find it in the laws. Maybe Urban Legend

No kiddin!
Half the garbage on here is urban legend! I suppose you could also try 90/13 the old "anything interferes=anything goes"
:lol:

Where did that term "suicide knob" come from anyways? Maybe it under the same chapter and section for ridiculous aftermarket accessories such as naked lady mudflaps and a ten foot whip CB antenna

How about these fancy suicide knobs, perfect for a cruiser. http://store4.yimg.com/I/thehotrodgirl_1773_1964434
