Legality of Steering Knobs in Ohio

Ohio law does not explicitly name steering knobs, but two statutes are relevant:

• R.C. 4513.23: Prohibits driving with any object that constitutes a hazard to drivers or pedestrians.
• R.C. 4513.11: Forbids equipment that obstructs the driver's view or interferes with steering, braking, or signaling (for vehicles ≤10,000 lbs).

Because steering knobs can potentially obstruct vision and interfere with steering control, they may be deemed illegal under these provisions. Consult local traffic authorities or a legal expert for definitive guidance.
