Most of the window chips ive had is from you motorhome jackasses who cant keep your heeps on the road and kicking up the rocks on the shoulder into my window. Dont just blame the lifted rigs with off road tires, you guys are guilty of it too.

When I was pulled over, the cop said that if the axle is below the rear bumper, than you need them. Doesn't make sense to me considering most trucks come from the factory that way. I wonder how big they want the mud flaps to be also, maybe I can put some super small ones on lol.

The revenues that are produced when CHP writes a ticket goes to the county or city that the citation is written, not to the state or the CHP.

Here it is. Like I stated before no measurements at all:dunno:
CALIFORNIA VEHICLE CODE
:: SECTION 27600-27607 California vehicle codes index
27600. No person shall operate any motor vehicle having three or
more wheels, any trailer, or semitrailer unless equipped with
fenders, covers, or devices, including flaps or splash aprons, or
unless the body of the vehicle or attachments thereto afford adequate
protection to effectively minimize the spray or splash of water or
mud to the rear of the vehicle and all such equipment or such body or
attachments thereto shall be at least as wide as the tire tread.
This section does not apply to those vehicles exempt from
registration, trailers and semitrailers having an unladen weight of
under 1,500 pounds, or any vehicles manufactured and first registered
prior to January 1, 1971, having an unladen weight of under 1,500
pounds.

Here's the deal. ANY citation written by CHP, PD or SO goes to the county that citation was written in. Secondly, citations are written by officers, (read people) and that officer is NOT an example of the mass.
I wrote gridlock tickets ALL DAY LONG, because it pisses me off. It had nothing to do, with a toaster oven, me having a bad day, my Sgt telling me that I needed to write tickets. It has nothing to do with revenue, me not liking you, or not liking your car. The law is the law.
Yes the CVC is vague, there is a reason for that. It is so the law can be interpreted. If you write it in black and white then there is no wiggle room and then you would gripe that it's too strict.
As far as mud flaps, and flares are concerned...comparing them to each other is like saying the windshield and the back window do the same thing. Mud flaps are for rearward facing objects and spray. Flares are for forward thrown and vertically thrown objects.
"If there is more than one inch of tread exposed to the side then flares are required. If more than 75% of the tire height is exposed to the rear then flaps are required." That came straight from Cal LEGAL informational Legal update.
Lastly, the laws are written in conjunction with NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Ass.). Believe it or not, these laws are not written with you personally in mind, you are not that important.
Just for info. I responded to a fatal, where a MC layed it over when a rock was kicked up in his face. This would have been prevented if the guy had working flaps. Not just rubber floor mats hanging off the back.
I am sorry and I am not trying to slam anyone. But for my entire career, I got called every name in the book for enforcing the laws that protect other people. I get tired of hearing about dickhead cops this and that, or F-in CHP's. You know what, THESE dickheads are the same DICKHEADS you call, when you are hiding under your bed because there is a threat outside.
Yes there is some A-holes out there, but most of us are here for YOU, and yes to me YOU are that important. YOU ARE WORTH MY LIFE. I've laid it down for people I've never met and yet I still get called names for writting a ticket.

What the hell is a gridlock ticket?
And it's nice to see that California finally adopted a stupid Law from Utah instead of the other way around for once.
