Violation?

Aren't too many flaps with tape

 

No, but I did find some simple aluminum flat brackets with tape that bolt on with mudflap. Cheap, and simple. I did order new SS hangers with reflectors. They still sent the wrong ones. Just added my old brackets with new tape.

Internet photo. But this is what mine loom like. Slips in with mudflap.



Now, like mudflaps and tail lights. Only required when disconnected from trailer.

 

That’s what I run too. Looks good and is simple.

 

Just remember, with a trailer covering the drives you do not need mudflaps or tail lights. Till you disconnect. They will pop you still for the reflective tape markers on the back of cab however.

 

Hangers.. most times..

The flaps themselves. Not so much.

 

You don't even need tractor tail lights when hooked to trailer. Mudflaps not required as a combined unit.

But Ohio with intrastate plates you had front and back at least till 2016 that I know of. If the plate was on, it needed a plate light. Bobtail or combination. And some OHSP Motor Carrier enforcement and PUCO inspectors would get you for it.

 

And they will ding you for not having the reflective tape on the mud flap/hanger you don't need because you are connected to a trailer. Ask me how I know.

 

What about rgn that you can not have hangers? I always took them off and hung them on frame. Your a combination vehicle and it's not the rear. But I understand and wouldn't argue that on the side or the road either.

 

It's fine if they're not there, I used to do that too sometimes. However, if they are there, even if they aren't required, you can get dinged for it.

Much like your post about the rear licence plate light. Here, in Alberta, we get one plate; goes on the front. BC issued two, so they would write you a violation if your light didn't work even though it wasn't needed. So I would just remove it.

 

Ok, I'm getting what your saying. I was miss understanding. Thanks.
