3rd brake light

do we have to have one? law?

Section 5.1.1.27 of TSD 108

(TSD = Technical Standards Document)

that means nothing to me, other than… “yes” we have to have one.

You wrote “law?”.

I took that to mean you want supporting evidence not just a generic yes.

But, yes. :slight_smile:

Been driving around with mine shaved forever and never been pulled over.
Been followed by cops lots of times too.

oh i was just lookgin for “yes there is a law whichstates that you are required to have a 3rd brake light”

but giving me the exact one is even better thanks hehe.

hmm. ok. thanks for the input.

well if you were driving around/followed then your brake light wouldnt be on. they probably wouldnt be able to notice if u had 2 or 3.

i may run with 2 but dont know if its worth the hassle.

Every car made after 1986 has one. It’s law, but I don’t have one either and I’ve never been hassled for it.

Followed me including through a couple intersections …

Goddamn upper middle and all these high school idiots racing their parent’s cars. Makes it such a heat score. Cops patrol it all day long and instead of watching for the guys lining up they follow cars slightly modded all day long (never seen a modded car on upper middle light drag btw)

i dont think its something they notice very often or many just not enforced as much

I’ve been rolloin’ without one for over 2 years now…

I have other things on my car for cops to worry about over a missing
third brake light. I mean they could hassle me about it but never once
have they ever mentioned it and I’ve been pulled over many times…

^^thats what i thought, i dont think they really care as long as you have to brake lights that work

Exactly…
