Default navigator device on the windshield

Hi,
is true that in the California state is not possible to attach the navigator
gps device on the windshield of the car?

Thanks

No.


Then please be kind enough to provide case law that invalidates

California does not allow you to stick anything to the inside of your
windshield (besides the rear view mirror).

Not true. You may have something in the lower Right corner, probably
no wider than six inches nor higher than three.

Every damn day cars with Fastrak transponders stuck to their
windshields (not the upper center area as specified by this law) go
pass Bay Area bridges without a second look from passing CHP patrols.

The OP was talking about a suction cup stablizer type device, not a
permanent attachment.

It's physically possible, it's just illegal. Not that it's really
enforced. Just look at all the Fastrak transponders.

Sure, you can get away with it. You can get away with a lot of stuff
until the day that a cop decides that he wants to make a project of
making your life miserable.

Now, care to quote the wording in the statute that makes an exception
for "suction cup stabilizer devices"? While you're about it, if you're
so sure they're legal you might want to tell the manufacturers of such
devices as they seem to be laboring under the misconception that they
aren't and I'm sure that they'll be greatly relieved to find that they
can sell them in California after all.
