Must remove the hitch?

Maybe you should put hitches on all 4 sides of your vehicle?

I'll admit that it is somewhat odd - essentially a bumper to protect my bumper. If I could easily put one on the front, I'd be tempted to do so.

I was joking but they do make front hitches for most Trucks and SUV'S. Go to E trailer. Com and take a look.

Years ago had a 1961 4WD Chevy with a trailer hitch clamped on the front bumper, for parking boat trailers it was a dream. I ran my shin into that almost every time I checked the oil.

If people are too stupid to look where they are walking, then putting a red cover on it isn't going to protect them either. I am so tired of big government writing stupid laws to protect stupid people from doing stupid things. One time of cracking the shin on a trailer hitch should be enough for a lifetime of "don't walk too close to a truck bumper" experience.

Although I am not in the US, I am thinking the exact same way.
It is not any better in Canada !

"I should put a yellow tennis ball on it for better visibility."

If you glue them over your entire vehicle, they will protect it against door dings, hail damage, and you won't have to wash the vehicle any more.

There should NOT be a law to force you to remove it, what's next, all towing mirrors MUST be folded in every time you park or cover them in red? For that matter since a flatbed trailer is below a moron's line of sight, maybe those ought to always be painted in red with flashing blue lights to alert stupid people that there is something to make note of. Truth known, the genius employee was probably looking at his cell phone when he ran into it in the first place.

That LAST thing we need is another stupid law, for stupid people to feel "protected" by the government.

Those are the same kind of people that if you set cones out to make them walk around a truck with objects sticking out the back, will trip over the cones. They're kinda like a squirrel that is running across a road, is 2 feet from the edge he is running towards, and when he sees a car, turns to run the other way and gets killed. Only then to have some animal lover get after the driver for not swerving to avoid the squirrel.
