Driving with out a windshield

itbrokeagain · 07-03-2010, 09:45 PM

Lately I have seen several cjs, a willys and many motorcycles without windshields. Do I need to have one in my Yj? I will have one soon but I dont right now. My neighbor drove his Tracker for several months without one but will I get pulled over?

Motorcycles don't need a windshield.
No helmet needed either, for a motorcycle.

Without looking through the code, I don't see how they could, but I'm sure that would give some cops a reason to find something else to pull you over. Good luck!

By the way, what state are you talking about? That may make a difference.

not required in Ohio , now I will say that there are troopers out there that will pull you over and say you need one for PC for the stop . you must have eye protection if running with out a windshield . Got stopped years ago with my dad in his 1950 MG TD , we were running with the windshield down and goggles on . Dumb Ass aslo wanted to know where are seat belts were at >>>>

I thought my old man was going to tell him " if they were up your ass......... "

Wear a helmet, you get some crazy looks from others.
