States that require signage for just over weight

I run'em anyway. I run the beacon lights too. Better safe than sorry. I only rarely get just over weight though.

 

I get that. But if Barney can't see anything hanging off the trailer I would hope he could figure it out. But then again.

 

On a similar note, my son was politely told in Wyoming today NOT to run beacons and rear trailer warning lights during the day on OS unless in construction area, or running at night. We, and many others have been running them for years. Time to read the permit again!

 

There are some areas that will ticket for beacons on when not required.

 

Like who?

 

Ontario. Permit says beacons shall not be on unless escort vehicle is required. Plus imo... having them on when not required just makes the driver look incompetent.

 

I agree! Pet peave of mine when I see people running around that don't need beacons or signs on. They'll give you a ticket up here which I think needs to be enforced more. Just shows someone didn't do there homework imo.

 

I agree with not running signs and beacons when they are not required, and in Ohio if they catch you with your signs on an you're empty they'll write you a ticket. But I was unaware that anywhere had a law against running your lights. I usually don't run my lights until I'm at least over 10 feet wide.
