I've been debating on shaved handles lately, and I was wondering about the legal portion of it. Here's was I found in my searching.

Inspect for and reject if:
1. If each door located at the left and right side of the driver's seat is not equipped with an opening device similar to that installed by vehicle manufacturers that will permit the opening of the door from the outside and inside of the vehicle.
NOTE: A door opening device on customized vehicles may be converted to either a remote, push button or other similar opening switch.
2. If each door located to the left and right side of the driver's seat is not equipped with a latching system similar to that installed by vehicle manufacturers which will hold the door in its proper closed position.
Statutory Authority

Historical Notes
Derived from VR545-01-07 §25, eff. May 1, 1990; amended, Virginia Register Volume 10, Issue 8, eff. February 9, 1994; Volume 12, Issue 21, eff. August 7, 1996.
Amended, Virginia Register Volume 21, Issue 4, eff. September 22, 2004.
Effect of Amendment
The Sept. 22, 2004 amendment, in par. 1, added the note paragraph.
It looks to me that the note states that shaved handles are legal if you have a means by remote to open them. Also that note was ammended to the law September 22 of last year.
Does anyone know for sure, or even interperate this as you can't have shaved handles?
Thanks in advance!
