I want to know if anyone can confirm this for me. In NYS it is not required to have doors on a vehicle while operating it on the road correct?

interesting question… I would think it’s illegal since you’re also removing crash bars… but I doubt it’s ever enforced.

The back window needs to be a.) present and b.) unobstructed.

ie if you have a decal on the back window and no passenger mirror; ticket.

if you have no passenger mirror and a van with no back window; ticket.

and yeah no doors required 😃 weight reductiiiooon

Ok i looked it up  
V&T law section 375 (equipment section) has no mention of doors or requirements for doors. You are however required to have drivers mirrior, seat belt etc…so if those mount to the door it would be illegal.  
You can call DMV’s office of technical services (they make/interpert rules regarding vehicles, inspections, registration, custom cars, etc…) at 518-474-5282

my theory was based on the removing of safety equipment that came with the car. but I guess removing a door is different from removing an airbag.
