Is nitrous legal?

[TheRealWave]

in CA or any other state?

[strobhen]

As far as I know, yes. It is ok to have it installed in the car.

If you are worried about it, take your bottle out when on the street. if going to the track, put it in the car, but don't connect it until you get there.

Is it legal to use nitrous on the street? No...

Nitrous is legal in Cali, you can have it in your car but can't have the bottle turned on unless you're at the track. That's the legal part of it, personally I never shut mine off.

We've had the cops tell us that it's legal to use on the street as long as your under the speed limit, but it is illegal to use to run from the cops (TX).

Since it is not on the States Hazard Chemical list for transportation then your ok. What a cop wants to do about it if your caught running it in a "race" on the street can vary.

Yeah that is the thing, there are all the fine lines:
Some states say yes you can carry it buuuuuuut
1)can not be within reach of driver
2)bottle can not be hooked up
3) bottle may not be on.
I'm sorry I haven't found a web site with all the state requirements for nitrous use and automobile applications.
I gotta try and find one with all the laws

A cop in cali told me that you cant even have the system let alone the bottle in the car. He said that if he even sees a button, he can have you pop the hood and if he sees the system he will give you a ticket for having it on your car. I am in socal.

About as legal as the black lady i saw screamin
"2 dollars i suck your dick till the end of time!" on the street corner in dallas

[Ender2664]

LOL!
I am with him, it is very illegal, and even if a cop cant give you a ticket cause you dont have the bottle in the car, if he doesnt like you he will sight you for a bunch of other ****.

The bottom line is this:

The laws vary by state. Check with your local DMV, and get the laws IN WRITING! Dont just ask Joe Cop if nitrous is legal, cause he can tell you whatever the hell he feels like telling you.
