What is the fender law in CT? got stopped

<< < (2/2)

BlacXJeep:
Fenders are all back on, I just measured the front ones, and the tires only stick out an inch and a half, so hopefully it will keep their eyes off my rig. I cant afford the damn bushwackers, so this will have to do for now.

B52BUFF:
I hope it's not a route you take often.  I suspect he was looking for a reason to give you a ticket and you called him on it.  Everything is recorded nowdays and no matter how he would try to present it he would have looked bad.  Better make sure everything is working correctly for while though.  Brake lights, headlights, and anything else they could gig you for.  Espeacially if you have to cover that same terrain.  Did he ever tell you what he pulled you over for?

BlacXJeep:
yeah he said it was for hanging out in the left lane. Because it was only for passing. But I told him I wasn't sure what he was doing and I wasn't going to pass him. I was too busy trying to avoid him to realize how long I had been in the left lane. I think your right though, he knew I was right that he was purposely intimidating me, so he figured he should let me be.

BayouGold:
yeah like roger said, my tires stick out on these 10.5" wheels & i've had groton police directly behind me on the road & never been stopped. i drove past one this past summer without my doors that was set up off the side of the road like he was setting up a speed trap & as soon as i drove by he pulled out & got right up on my rear & followed me to a red light then i turned left & he went the other way. i thought for sure he was going to get me for not having a side mirror without my doors. on the other hand, i have Washington plates.  8)

HOT-ROD:
hey, i am late on this and i couldnt find the referance,

but i asked the police station in groton, they said d.o.t. regulation is no more than 3" from fender and must have mud flaps if they are going to stick out at all. not something that is widely addressed in this area. and even then, they werent too sure, not even the registry.
