Which brings up the question
why don’t big trucks have reverse lights ?
It would help see what’re you’re fixing to smash into , and it would also let others know that you’re in reverse gear -
They doHammer166 and gentleroger Thank this.

Yeah
i wanna meet the officer in court that writes that ticket . -
I don’t think I have ever seen reverse lights on a trailer .
Unless it’s a owner operator flatbed maybe .
And those are always added on
I’ve never seen any that were factory installed on a trailer .Jubal Early Times Thanks this. -
If you’re in violation of a law you’d still waste a day to go to court and lose?PaulMinternational, Hammer166 and kylefitzy Thank this.

Done it before .
Didn’t lose .
Call the prosecutor or judge and ask for it to be reduced or dismissed Show up and IF the cop shows up , ask the judge for a reset . If the cop shows up at the new court date , ask for it to be transferred to state court .
the judge and prosecutor in state court are not employed by the money hungry podunk town , so they will be less motivated to grab your cash . Plus the state court may be an hours drive away for the cop and they usually won’t show up for it .
I’d be curious to see if any ticket has ever been issued for this .
I highly doubt it .gentleroger and Jubal Early Times Thank this. -
You said truck not trailer!! I know, I know. It’s all word games. To add them to the trailer you would have to add a wire to the pig tail. Not practical
-
Why would you need them on the trailer? the purpose for them is to see behind you when you back up, not to tell people you are backing up.
-
It would be helpful to illuminate the area behind the trailer. Think about covered docks or the backs where you're headed into shadow.ducnut and Jubal Early Times Thank this.
