so i was coming home yesterday and got pulled over for tint being to dark. I had my mirrors flipped out and he came back to give me my ticket and said he was giving me a warning for having my mirrors flipped out and not having a trailer. Is that even legal never knew there was a law about that

 

I've never heard of that...he must have been bored or in a mood.

 

me too that's why i was surprised. That would make no since at all.

 

I want to see him pull over a semi truck with no trailer behind it for tow mirrors being out...

there is no law against that.

 

Yea there is no logic behind that at all. He must have been in a pissy mood

 

Thats awesome... They should really come up here to PA and do that... No need for mirrors to be flipped out without a load!

 

I tow regularly say 3-4 or more days a week so it makes no since for me too fold them in if I'm just going to town or running around doing other daily stuff
