Do you think he's an idiot for putting that dish on that spot on the car?


A Toyota Prius Driver was given a ticket after he affixed a STARLINK DISH in the MIDDLE of his Car HOOD in Calfornia!!

The officer said "Sir, i stopped you today for that visual obstruction on your hood. Does it not block your view while driving?" as the man cheekily replied "Only when i make right turns"...

The massive pizza sized antenna is used for SpaceX's Starlink Service that beams superfast internet from space created by Elon Musk.

The rocket manufacturer and transport services company launched its beta program for select customers for $99 a month but Musk says their dishes are not meant to be used in cars

He said "This is for aircraft, ships, large trucks & RV's"

The driver said he used the atenna to get WIFI service for business he operates out of his car however that didn't stop the cop from issuing a moving violation

He cited a California state law that prohibits vehicle view obstructions such as hanging objects from one's rear view mirror and said "Yes, it is in fact illegal to mount a satellite dish to the hood of your vehicle" that has a base fine of $238

The beta "Starlink kit" is on the market that includes a user dish, a tripod mount, a WiFi router and a power supply source and is offering users a rooftop mounting system at an additional cost

They have 70,000 active customers but could see an increase to 500,000 users in a year

And while Musk says one could put a dish on their car, the amount of bandwidth it provides would be overkill

Do you think this man was an idiot to put that dish right there?
