vandalism would presumably be both illegal and imoral.
unintentional damage can be neither, depending on the circumstances ( and intent ).
lets keep in mind inthe average accident where someone runs into my back end.
it's wholly their fault. if their front end is crushed in.. that hood bent in half with a hole in it won't cost any more to replace than one just bent in half. same wath a radiator bent and split and pushed back intot he engine. costs the same with or without hole.
in the situation where someone has stopped behind me and left a fair distance ( car length comes to mind ).. or half that. that's what I leave.. 5-6' minimum. impact that moves you thru that distance is going to be a BAD wrwck anyway.
1 exta hole won't matter.. AND it's still not my fault. it's the drivers fault who caused the accident.
If I'm standing holding a knife and you are standing near me and someone comes up behind you and throws you into the knife i'm holding.
i didn't stab you.. the jerk who pushed you did.
if it's legal to have the tounge in and no trailer.. and you aren't intending on using it as a rear mounted battering ram.. the argument about the person in front being evil is absurd....
my opinion of this will simply not change.
I don't expect you to change yours. feel free at any moment to quit trying to convince me. i'm doing the same.
Fine. You and other self considerate or obnoxious hitchers will fuel the theft and vandalism related to stingers. The name used to describe them makes the case.
