How is having this much shit piled on your dashboard and stuck to your windshield even possibly legal?

They are definitely Praying to a Higher Power to take the wheel because they clearly can't see $hit
Creative_Shame3856@reddit
I'll take that over some clown with trash and piss jugs piled up any day. At least this guy takes pride in his truck.
ProudChoferesClaseB@reddit
is it that he takes pride in his truck, or takes pride in his gods, or both?
Alternative-Ad-7473@reddit
Do you really care what gods he takes pride in? Does he bother you?
ProudChoferesClaseB@reddit

The lack of safety bothers me. Unless he removes before driving each time. Not a trucker. Am 4-wheeler.
CalmAnxitey87@reddit
If it was Christian iconography would you care?
ProudChoferesClaseB@reddit
Somehow that would be even worse imo
FireStar_Trucking_01@reddit
To be fair, he probably takes mich better care of his truck and drives better than a fair amount of other truckers, considering how nice and clean his truck is.
crypt0junki3@reddit
Like seeing fake social media or peoples Facebook pages where they show you only what they want you to see… Dudes cab looks pimpin home like…meanwhile, inside, hidden behind the exterior viewable facade lies 25 gallon jugs of dark brown piss 2 dozen pissorade bottles filled to the brim that you from the outside can’t see and can’t forget the 10 or so plastic grocery bags tied off full of a brown smelly smeary substance.
Decisions of where to place care & how to hide reality were made 💀. Look observe and learn folks, this is how you do it! Living da life trucker life of deception woohoo 🙌 🥳
lesserDaemonprince@reddit
Shouldn't tell on yourself like that. Yikes.

You guys need to see my trucker toilet hack. Peak level nastiness only the fully committed to mileage per hour are willing to do💀

I have no shame. References; see posts lol
santanzchild@reddit
And yet that has nothing to do with the question presented. Yall are so busy showing how woke and accepting you are none of you are responding to what was actually asked.
OsBaculum@reddit
No matter how hard y'all try, I refuse to accept "woke" as an insult. Yeah, I'm woke, bite me. Would you rather be asleep?
Dragonr0se@reddit
They'd rather be sleeping sheep than woke or whatever...
AATW702@reddit
What does woke mean? Let’s see if you know what it means or if you’re just regurgitating some bullshit the racist mfs from the right are saying
make0urday@reddit
My like got lost in the sea of woke agreeability so I just wanted you to know that I agree.
santanzchild@reddit
It's all good I knrw the response I would get. It is reddit after all.

Probably isn't legal, there's your answer
People found it kinda nifty = woke

We get it dawg, you're racist.
FireStar_Trucking_01@reddit
Okay grandpa, go back to watching fox 'news'. I didn't say it was legal, if he worked for me he'd be cleaning off his dash and windshield or he'd be finding a new job. People respond to other relevant or irrelevant things in posts all the time, that's how the internet works chuckle fuck.
BONERFLEX_@reddit
Lmfao woke and accepting? This miserable fuck right here needs a hug or something. Leave the violations to the DOT you weirdo.
Pam_P00vey@reddit

Adventurous-Tower583@reddit
Them Pakistanis’ trucks were all decorated like that when I was in Iraq. A couple even had a little tv on the console with a dvd player. I “confiscated” a couple dvds with Arabic writing on them to see what he was watching. It can’t be unseen
ProudChoferesClaseB@reddit
porn. while driving? rly???
Adventurous-Tower583@reddit
Yeah, dog porn. I felt so dirty after I saw that. Fricken weirdos
ProudChoferesClaseB@reddit
I knew a couple that owned horses and they had some stories about degenerate women coming to them in search of Thrills. It was certainly not my thing but whatever dude
Adventurous-Tower583@reddit
I’d say degenerate. But I mean, is bigger really better?

Environmental-Pear40@reddit
I don't know how people manage to have so much on their dash. I think you would get annoyed with it being in the way.
hellbillyjoker@reddit
How is this any different then dudes who have a microwave and mini fridge in the passenger seat and garbage piled all around the dash.
Snookfilet@reddit
It isn’t.
ProudChoferesClaseB@reddit
the difference is this is mostly religious iconography, not trash.
the dashboard altar is probably obstructing his view, but whatever....
endthefed2022@reddit
If you really cared about visibility, you’d be driving a cab over
ProudChoferesClaseB@reddit
Now if I really cared about 360° visibility I wouldn't be driving at all
barc0debaby@reddit
Well you see this driver is from another country and those drivers are good ole Americans.
DankDarko@reddit
Fat pigs more like it. I'd rather have a clean (maybe overly decorative cab) than the garbage heap that a lot of drivers produce nowadays. So glad I'm not a slipseater.
ProudChoferesClaseB@reddit
indian and paki trucks if u watch youtube of truckers in those countries do a lot of decorating, even tho their trucks are beaters lol
natkingcoil@reddit
Coffin sleeper people need to eat too (regarding the passenger seat). No excuse for garbage on the dash
kit_eubanks@reddit
It depends how anal the DOT officer wants to be... Technically there's no regulations on how much crap you can have on the dash just as long as it doesn't block sight lines...
I am extremely OCD on my dash it's clean as hell and nothing's on it and I am a clean freak when it comes to my Windows lol
SparrowFate@reddit
Ya but this does block sight lines. People get tickets for air fresheners so this is definitely a violation.
That being said it’s pretty neat. He clearly takes pride in his work and takes care of his truck.

CDaarnl1@reddit
I'm pretty sure there's something in the regulations about obstructing windshield. I couldn't tell you the exact regulation though.
ProudChoferesClaseB@reddit
but do u rly wanna be the dot officer named in the 1st amendment religious freedom lawsuit that follows the ticket?
good chance a christian group will fund the lawsuit, just bcuz if they can go after muslim crap, they'll go after hanging crucifixes and virgin mary idols next lol
CDaarnl1@reddit
I've got nothing against a person expressing their religious freedoms regardless of who or what they worship, I'm just giving the best answer to OP's question that I can.
ProudChoferesClaseB@reddit
Yeah I'm just speculating as to why dot hasn't hassled this guy yet
Patriquito@reddit
Thats not a truck. Thats a Turkish Bazaar!
ProudChoferesClaseB@reddit
yea the flag says pakistan but isn't pakistan like... just a province of turkey or sumpin?

Efficient_Maybe_1086@reddit

Seriously though those tassels are gonna be a bitch to clean.
StarMaterial1496@reddit
Who said they would even get cleaned? Dust catchers rite there!
ProudChoferesClaseB@reddit
yea like does anybody actually clean theater curtains? bcuz I've seen a few in my life, and they're always dusty as fuck
Kern4lMustard@reddit
They do get cleaned. Maybe once a decade. They are massive (think 40' x 60' or larger). Not to mention they weigh about 300+pds a side, so taking them to the dry cleaners doesnt work. But, every once in a blue moon, they do get cleaned. Last time I saw it happen was with spray bottles, though tbh it's a specialty job so I've only seen it the one time
PShubbs91@reddit
Yeah I couldn't even imagine how much of a bitch those are to deal with. Hell my 8' lumber tarps weight over 100 lbs.
ProudChoferesClaseB@reddit
There's a YouTube channel where all they do is clean carpets in their workshop, some of them really old it's amazing the work they do holy cow
denyasis@reddit
Reminds me a lot of Tatas that were driven in India. My spouse said there was a whole thing about decorating the heck out of your truck like this. They even had full on custom paint jobs and everything!
Here's a quick link I found on the googles.
https://ar.inspiredpencil.com/pictures-2023/tata-truck
It's honestly pretty cool to see how drivers from different cultures display their passions for their trucks!
Cheekoteh@reddit
That is against DOT regulations.
DukeBradford2@reddit
It’s like they are asking to be pulled in and given a level 1 every weigh station.
ProudChoferesClaseB@reddit
yea it's to the point it obstructs the driver's view -
HOWEVER, the fact that most megas put the driver facing cameras illegally within the sweep of the wipers, and even hanging a cross can get you ticketed because it "obstructs the view" makes me take a dim view of the windshield regulation.
it's clearly selective enforcement.
I'm all for religious freedom exemptions, but this guy is putting too much stuff in there probably for him to see sufficiently
Cheekoteh@reddit
Yep, pretty much.
crypt0junki3@reddit
💯 def make that shit as home like as possible. 50% of your long term sanity depends upon it 😐 the other 50% is divided between lot lizards, public restrooms, and subway. Good luck to you all!
bob696988@reddit
Bet they would light up pretty easy and melt away
SlySpinglefinger@reddit
Oh man the scale shack would be dishing out so many fines for obstruction of view and cab clutter.
voicareason@reddit
But I get pulled cause my gps.is in the way???
coppertech@reddit
Meanwhile, I get pulled over and cited because a DOT cop said my dashcam was obstructing my view of the upper right windshield next to my rearview mirror, and I was forced to remove it.
Minty_Doe_Boi@reddit
Pakistan? Wow Grape!
Ryogathelost@reddit
The Pakistanis are actually world-famous for the way they decorate their truck interiors like this. They have their own very specific trucker culture that's really cool.
I think you were trying to make fun of them, but it's actually pretty neat to see one of these in the wild. These things are like rolling shrines inside and there's a ton of personalization they take a lot of pride in.
a116jxb@reddit (OP)
You can have all the decorations you want idgaf what they look like, but I would really like you to be able to see the road while you drive.
JosephRW@reddit
I mean, they got there and the truck isn't balled up yet. Maybe minding your own business would do some good like your parents should have taught you.
crypt0junki3@reddit
Legit gripe imo. At some point, it reaches levels of absurdity…yet homie likely lives in there so in ways it’s hard to blame him for doing all he can to make it home like and as comfy as possible by doing so. Yet potentially dangerous, too. The stuff that can swing around all over the place is 100% a distraction. What’s the actual rules/regs in regards to this…imagine it’s defined fairly well.
Sir_Uncle_Bill@reddit
I think he's more asking how it's legal to have that much shit piled up in the way of your vision. It has to be distracting.
amanoftradition@reddit
I've seen clip board decor piled just as much in a handful of trucks I passed. It isn't legal either way but the likability of someone stopping you if you're driving just fine is low.
ProudChoferesClaseB@reddit
yea and with all the "religious freedom" stuff the republicans keep pushing, idk if DOT really wants to risk a test case on whether they gotta make religious exceptions and if so, how much.
religious freedom is like the best way to push back on govt regulations of any sort, even prisoners have forced guards and wardens to back off in some cases using 'muh first amendment' as an argument.
flobenni@reddit
When i was in the middle east, we called them jingle trucks, because all the accessories they would have hanging from their trucks would "jingle". Definitely different culture, cool to see, can't say what DOT has to say.
pchandler45@reddit
LMAO looks like every single taxi in the middle east
Killexia82@reddit
What a mess. How does anyone see outside that windshield in key places with all that shit dangling in the way? You can honor your gods and culture without sacrificing safety.
seang239@reddit
You should see their busses..
HGowdy@reddit
Pakistani & Indian bus art is some kinda thing to behold. Crazy bonkers and awesome at the same time. They really should solve their differences with Bus Art Competition. Or cricket.
ProudChoferesClaseB@reddit
what about if they decorate their nukes w/ cool art and shit?
HGowdy@reddit
The East German Judges will allow it.
OkEvening87@reddit
Magic Carpet’s gonna Magic Carpet
ProudChoferesClaseB@reddit
so I see this two ways:
block ur vision w/ religious crap, but hey man all that stuff gets you points w/ the man upstairs so it kinda evens out
don't block ur vision so u can drive more safely, but no points w/ the man upstairs to protect u from shit
can a math guy run the numbers on which is the better option? some of us wanna know!
a116jxb@reddit (OP)
The good ole garlic salt approach.
Garlic is good for your heart, salt is bad for your heart, so garlic salt cancels itself out.
ProudChoferesClaseB@reddit
excellent!
Desperate_Tourist554@reddit
It's not
3amGreenCoffee@reddit
When I was in India, most of the trucks looked like that. When I mentioned it to the manager of the group we were working with, he said Indians have more pride in their work than Americans and decorate their trucks to show that.
chico-dust@reddit
Bro is ensuring he gets pulled into every single open scale for an inspection
No-Anteater5184@reddit
They’re literally asking to get pulled in at the weigh station and be performed an English test lollllllllll
ConsequenceSweaty241@reddit
Haha yeah
Cool_Sherbet7827@reddit
Is that the Ayatollah of rock and rolla?
ProudChoferesClaseB@reddit
yea when I first say this I was thinking he was some kinda shia infidel, then I saw the pakistani flag and I was like - oh OK he's only descended from hindu infidels, and he merely carries forward their decorating customs but in a monotheist context.
AstralTroy@reddit
Would this be considered curried out instead of riced out?

DoctorSwaggercat@reddit
I'm not a truck driver, but wouldn't DOT have a problem with all this junk obstructing vision?
a116jxb@reddit (OP)
One would think...
ProudChoferesClaseB@reddit
I wonder if DOT sees it's almost all religious, and thinks in the back of their head, "oh no I don't wanna hafta deal w/ a religious freedom case when he challenges the ticket".
Lewcypher_@reddit
If you saw someone peeking into your camper like that I’m sure you’d be pissed. Why do it?
firstblush73@reddit
NOW I understand how some drivers almost take off my hood after passing me. They actually cant see anything and are just winging it out here.
ProudChoferesClaseB@reddit
key word he almost took off ur hood.
luckily all those protective amulets and charms and shit gives him just enough juice with the gods that he hasn't killed anyone... yet
Rayunex@reddit
This guy is going to get eaten alive by lawyers if he ever gets into an accident.
ProudChoferesClaseB@reddit
good enuff lawyers will eat pretty much any trucker alive, sadly.
I listened to freightwaves talk about it once, literal venture capitalists and hedge funds will pay for the cost of suing a trucker and their company bcuz they know juries are emotional and will hand out huge damages, most of which gets split between the lawyers and their 3rd party funding source.
whitecollarpizzaman@reddit
Imagine traveling halfway around the world to make a decent living, and I assume support family back home, unless they immigrated with him, only to have some guy make fun of your decorations that make you feel at least a little like you’re at home. Enough of us feel lonely on the road as it is, imagine not even being in your home country?
BedAdministrative619@reddit
Imagine thinking your decorations are more important than safety. Decorate the outside, decorate the inside, just leave the window alone.
Idiotwithaphone79@reddit
Safety first.
ProudChoferesClaseB@reddit
well if safety is first, don't drive at all since any driving runs risk of death.
go back to walking and using mules to transport stuff, safest option of all!
right_lane_kang@reddit
The decal on the driver side window translates to "oh god I don't know" 🤷🏻♂️
kit_eubanks@reddit
Actually it's a plea it's a type of prayer basically God help me when one is in distress... It's really not the literal translation but close enough
kniveshu@reddit
Basically a different brand of "Jesus take the wheel" ?
kit_eubanks@reddit
Yeah I guess sort of lol... It's a common calligraphy phrase in Arabic...
ProudChoferesClaseB@reddit
for every invocation to one's God, you may text an extra 30 seconds since 1 invocation on the windshield = 30 seconds of protection.
I think it's written in DOT regs somewhere...
right_lane_kang@reddit
Cool I like learning about other cultures
crypt0junki3@reddit
🤫, it’s a sly cry for help. Homie wants help..yet knows it’s never coming. Think this is par for the course when you’ve driven for a decade and somehow are still stuck at 48 cents per mile 😐☹️💀
BigPapaDala@reddit
Did you use Google translate or do you actually speak Urdu? (Seems like dude was Pakistani with the god damn flag on the dash lol)
Anyone who speaks more than English knows Google translate (specially for less known languages) will not always directly translate the proper meaning of a term.
kit_eubanks@reddit
I must admit it's getting better on certain languages Arabic Russian Hindi urdu...
Where it falls short is phrases like this one which it does good for literal translations but doesn't really convey what the meaning of it is
Noidea159@reddit
It’s not that serious bro…
right_lane_kang@reddit
AI Google translate from a screen still
ProudChoferesClaseB@reddit
at first I thought the driver was a shia w/ all that crap everywhere, then I see the pakistani flag and I'm like "ooo OK this guy is descended from hindu converts to islam so ofc he's gonna have votive-offering shit like grapes on his dashboard altar"
JaneLove420@reddit
Really pretty truck! Clearly driven by someone Pakistani
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truck_art_in_South_Asia
a116jxb@reddit (OP)
Yeah I actually like the mandala stickers and all the decorations look cool, but what really caught my attention was the little bead curtain deal hanging directly in front of the driver in his line of sight.
----Richard----@reddit
Is it that much different from those chrome shields that cover 2/3 of the windshield on square nosed Petes?
Sir_Uncle_Bill@reddit
Yes. Those chrome shields don't sway and jiggle with the movement of the truck. Lots less distracting. Although I've seen plenty of those that are clearly sitting too low too.
DankDarko@reddit
More distracting to oncoming traffic than it is to the driver. Those are pure super trucker vibes.
a116jxb@reddit (OP)
I hate those things too
Molten_Baco@reddit
They probably sit low and it’s above their head

Dry-Dream4180@reddit
Truly truly truly outrageous
Criticallyoptimistic@reddit
How is it hurting you?
Sir_Uncle_Bill@reddit
Depends. If the driver can't see a lot of stuff because he's got too much stuff on his windshield distracting him and blocking his view, he could kill someone.

( that was a thing back in the day....yeah, I'm old.)
moon_goddess235@reddit
That's really cool! It looks similar to how they decorate elephants in India, with lots of bright colors and dangling jewelry. Yeah, the stuff on the windows would probably get a DOT officer all wet in his panties, for all the citations he could write, but it still looks very cool, in my opinion.
