Flares and mudflaps
« on: April 18, 2011, 11:25:03 AM »
OK all you smart guys.... can any tell me where it says in the GA or GOV law that flares and mudflaps are requirement. MPs here just told me that I need to get some. I have talked to GSP and local LEOs back in Augusta and none of them ever said crap to me about it. I never been stopped on post for not having them till today.. I didnt get a ticket nor a written warning but was told that I need to get some soon. Anyone know where I can get some info

Yeah, usually a requirement in most states. They don't want you throwing debris at vehicles behind you.....

And this says that fenders and mud flaps are only required on commercial vehicles.

Does GA law even apply on a Base?  Federal property may have more stringent rules.

In the private sector I have done extensive work on Military bases and know that federal property and the laws within can be what ever the gov't wants.  I had a friend get a ticket for talking on his work phone and driving, on the base it has to be hands free.  $50 federal ticket.  I would play it safe and obey the laws.  That is my 2 cents/sense.
