Driving without a front bumper Illegal?
Got in a fender bender that pushed the chrome piece of my front bumper dangerously close to my tire. I don't want to get a puncture while driving so I removed the front bumper, valence, ect. It was 4 bolts and the whole thing came off which was nice.
Anyways, is that illegal?
I'm gonna guess that it is because of safety (I only had to drive so far about 4 blocks so I risked possibly getting a ticket), so anybody know how I can get by? I wont be able to fix it until the weekend because of were I am located right now, so is there something I can jimmy on the front that will make it a "bumper"? Gutters, Ex-wives, In-laws, ect. Anything will help.
Thanks!

I believe that bumper requirements are for new vehicle construction only. If your jurisdiction requires an annual/biannual safety inspection, then you might have to have a front bumper. However, there are many classic trucks that remove both bumpers and fill in the areas with roll pans. Not sure if this would only work with vehicles 25+ or not. But I couldn't see a problem with you tooling around without a front bumper for a week. As was mentioned above, if you have a front plate be sure to have it in your windshield or zip-tied somewhere.
