Actually, I believe that is the law just about everywhere, even here in the US. It's just never enforced (except for crackdowns on cruisers). Kind of like laws that prohibit any part of the chassis from being lower than the bottom of the rim.

If you've ever seen how an open wheel car can launch another open wheel car if the tires rub, you can see why the law was created...
