California Highway Patrol tickets driver with apparent SpaceX Starlink dish bolted to car hood

Key Points

•   A California Highway Patrol officer pulled over a vehicle on Friday that had a satellite dish bolted to the car’s hood.

•   The dish appears to be an antenna from SpaceX’s Starlink service, which rolled out in October with a beta program.

•   CHP told CNBC that the motorist received a ticket for a moving violation.

A California Highway Patrol officer pulled over a vehicle on Friday that had a satellite dish bolted to the car’s hood, and the device appeared to be one of SpaceX’s Starlink antennas.

“Sir I stopped you today for that visual obstruction on your hood. Does it not block your view while driving?” CHP of Antelope Valley wrote in a Facebook post about the incident.

CHP added that the motorist replied: “Only when I make right turns.”

"Antelope Valley" ... I'm glad this moron is driving far from me! I feel sorry for the people who live and drive around an idiot who obstructs his vision that grossly. The mounting looks kind of sketchy as well. I'd hate to learn the hard way how secure it isn't at freeway speeds (the thing probably messes up his gas mileage as well, but that's a lesser detail).

I am not and never have been a leftist.

If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.
