Is it illegal

Care to tell us its not the case?

Its part of the pre-trip.
Every light must work.

 

Only required lighting, not extraneous lighting. It's been that way for a long time now, I'm thinking '06 maybe.

 

That was my understand as well. But I have to wonder sometimes. With the way the DOT seems to nitpick.

 

as fortycalglock said, only required lighting is required to work, that is part of the pretrip. again this old myth belongs right up there with white sheets on the bunk

 

WHITE? I was told they had to be polka dotted.......awwww maaannnn

 

so heres the regulation in the green book covering required lighting,


its in part 393- parts and accessories necessary for safe operation

subpart B lamps, reflective devices and electrical wiring

393.9 a) all lamps required by this subpart shall be capable of being operated at all times. this paragraph shall not be construed to require that any auxillary or additional lamp be capable of being operated at all times.


that's the exact wording in the "green book"

 

I have a reindeer embedded in my grille, do I have the Christmas spirit ? I did hook his eyes up so they blink.

 

I saw a Toyota twin screw tractor about a month ago ,I did a triple take.

 

I guess he is the missing link then!
