What country made truck nuts illegal?‽!

Whoops, autocorrect. Meant "county" not "country"

What county CAN make truck nuts illegal? If you’re in the US I feel like that’s a first amendment violation.

That's the "puerile" obscenity carve-out for the first amendment.

I not sure public displays of genitalia, even fake ones, has ever been argued as a matter of free speech. If it was, the TV landscape would probably be a lot different.

I'm pretty sure they're illegal where I am too. I think they were considered obscene or vulgar. To be fair, some of them are made to look exactly like a scrotum. That might be too far.

They're illegal in my state too, but they based it on already existing traffic laws regarding distractions. For example you can't have colored lights that illuminate the road under your car.

Also, we're not allowed to have anything hanging off vehicles externally in case it comes off and causes an accident.

My guess would be most of them. Based on nothing.
