The Cybertruck's mirror-like design could lead to accidents, but it is not against the law.

Recently, the Tesla Cybertruck has been making headlines for its futuristic appearance. In fact, one proud owner even went as far as polishing the stainless-steel exterior to give it a giant mirror-like finish. According to the owner, this was to prevent pesky fingerprint smudges on the truck. However, some users on social media expressed concern over the potential hazards this could pose on the road. Despite these worries, experts in traffic safety have stated that the act itself is not illegal, as reported by Business Insider.

Back in May, Tyson Garvin's Cybertruck garnered attention for its strikingly reflective exterior. This caught the eye of social media users, who raised concerns about the safety implications. One concern was that the truck's shiny surface could potentially block the vision of other drivers if their headlights were to reflect off of it. Additionally, there were worries that the truck's appearance could make it difficult to spot on the road, blending in with its surroundings. This post by @technicallymims on the Threads platform sparked a discussion on the matter.

Garvin himself admitted to having similar concerns and shared them with the media outlet. David Zuby, the chief research officer for the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, also weighed in on the issue. In an email to Business Insider, Zuby stated that while reflective glare may pose a similar risk as headlight glare, there is no research to support this. Therefore, it is unclear if it could lead to an increased risk of accidents.

However, there is still the possibility of accidents occurring due to the truck's attention-grabbing appearance. It could also attract unwanted attention from law enforcement. Martin A. Kron, a New York traffic court attorney and former judge, stated that in his 38 years of experience, he has never encountered a case related to a car's paint job. He also added that while there may not be a specific law against it, driving a highly customized vehicle could increase the likelihood of being pulled over.

In conclusion, while there may be some concerns about the Tesla Cybertruck's mirror-like exterior, it is not against the law. However, it is important for drivers to be cautious and considerate of other drivers on the road. After all, safety should always be the top priority.
