Starting July 1, a new law on modified trucks and cars could mean fines for certain drivers.

Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee in March signed legislation banning a modification known commonly as a “Carolina squat,” which refers to cars and trucks with front ends raised to sit higher off the ground than the backs of vehicles, so that the bodies of the vehicles are no longer parallel to the ground.

    I had trouble getting to that article, but found a different source for the same new update.

    It was banned in North Carolina and Virginia, according to NBC-affiliate stations in those states, after lawmakers in those states said the modifications make it too difficult to see over the truck’s dashboard.

    So they’re making the modification illegal, but what about trucks that come from the factory that can barely see over the hood are still fine?

    People specifically can not drive cars if their front fenders are at least 4 inches higher than their rear fenders, according to the new Tennessee law. It will go into effect on July 1.
