OT Tilt steering wheels and ice

May not be legal but absent a safety inspection requirement how are they to know?

Europeans have stringent inspections but I managed to squeeze my old junker through one.

Easier than telling if your brakes have anything left in them.

They can look at the car when it is parked, or when you drive by, when they stop you for any other reason, or when you take the car in for a safety inspection.

Penssylvania used to have two safety inspections a year. They lowered that to one. Maryland otoh only requires safety inspection when you buy a used car. You can keep it for 40 years after than without ever getting it inspected again. But if the cops see something that violates the isnpection rules, they can give and will give you a "ticket" that allows you a few days to get it fixed and appear at a police station to verify that it's fixed, in which case there is no fine. My guess is that usually this is lights, occasionally springs, but it could include hood ornaments too.

You need shorter legs.

Hey, you're right.

Yes, it does. The hood ornament placed on by the car maker falls under the "deep pocket" rule. They have lots of money to make suing them "pay." When you add one to your car, only you can be sued, not the car maker, and that means a "shallow pocket" (you) and probably not enough assets to attract a good lawyer. (-:
