Posted — UpdatedSome new laws took effect in North Carolina on Wednesday, including one that forbids drivers from raising the front of their vehicle.
The modification is commonly referred to as the "Carolina Squat."
There is no language in the ratified bill that allows for "grandfathering" of existing modified vehicles. In short, it reads, "A private passenger automobile shall not be operated upon any highway or public vehicular area ..." if the front fender is more than 4 inches higher than the rear fender.
Drivers risk having their license revoked if they are in violation more than two times in a 12-month period.
Gov. Roy Cooper signed the bill in September.
The Carolina Squat has also been nicknamed the “California Lean” and the “Tennessee Tilt.”
