A Toyota Prius driver who affixed a Starlink dish in the middle of his car's hood was ticketed by the California Highway Patrol on Friday.
'Sir I stopped you today for that visual obstruction on your hood. Does it not block your view while driving?' the officer asked, according to a post on CHP Antelope Valley’s Facebook page.
'Only when I make right turns...' the driver cheekily replied.

If the antenna could be incorporated into the body of the car, it would be useful.

Height restrictions probably forced him to put it on the hood of his car, instead of his roof.

He should have just mounted it on the roof like you are supposed to

Heck, there goes my plan to install a 13M Earth Station Antenna on the hood of my Ford Ranger.

I don’t know why he couldn’t lay it flat on the roof. Does it need to move left and right?

Tractor trailers are still higher than that dish would mounted to the roof.
To: Robert DeLong
Having a small trailer would work as well. He probably could have gotten one for about the cost of the fine.

“You might miss how it ends.”
Pretty sure it all ends the same way. I could be wrong, as I haven’t seen quite all of it yet.

OK, this is funny. But, I honestly didn’t know that there are going to be so many Starlink satellites that you wouldn’t need a gimbled receiver on a mobile application. That’s pretty amazing.
We have a KVH system for our boat. The capital cost is steep and the monthly service is even steeper. If Starlink will be a reasonable alternative, that would be great.

Have it fold down while you are driving.
Do you really need it while you are driving?

I think they just keep stopping every 30 seconds and changing positions.

Next time I order pizza, I’ll just ask for “Starlink dish” sized.
