Justin: ...
Just curious if anyone could place subsection 3 in plain english for me? I have recently been ticketed for the tail lights on my vehicle because they do not contain a red reflector.. however my interpretation of this law appears to say that your rear lamps must "display or reflect red or a red color" basically, They have to light up red which mine do. does this sound right?
