When the Carolina Squat started, I saw a few around here do that to their equipment. Not for long though. The police didn't crack down on them, the roads did. I saw one go over where they were resurfacing the street. They had milled the pavement down and he drover over a manhole cover that was sticking up. Nearly ripped his trailer hitch off the back.
The egg beaters never caught on. Traffic around here would rip them off in no time.
