3. Rear-view mirrors with a reflective surface of at least 19,5 square inches shall be installed on both sides of a vehicle for which a derogation for sun protection or other material has been issued. A vehicle for which a derogation has been granted for medical reasons may only be equipped with a left exterior rear-view mirror, unless it was originally equipped with an exterior rear-view mirror on both sides of the vehicle. You should avoid hanging this mask/face covering on your car mirror, as it is illegal in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. (b) rear-view mirrors. A vehicle referred to in this subchapter must be equipped with at least one rear-view mirror or similar device enabling the driver to have an unobstructed view of the highway to the rear of the vehicle for a distance of at least 200 feet. A mirror should not be cracked, broken or discolored. 4. An object or material shall not be suspended from the rear-view mirror and no object or material shall be suspended, placed or secured in a position which obstructs, obscures or significantly impairs the driver`s view through the windscreen or in a manner which presents a safety hazard.
2. Rear window louvers shall only be permitted if the vehicle is equipped with at least two exterior mirrors, one on the driver`s side and one on the passenger side, each with a reflecting surface of at least 19,5 square inches. This subsection does not apply to school buses. Right and left exterior mirrors are required when using a sun visor or other material, unless the sun visor or other material is used or mounted only on the AS-1 part of the windshield in accordance with § 175.263 (a) (with regard to the sun protection location). Each mirror shall have a reflective surface of at least 19.5 square inches, except as otherwise provided in paragraphs 175.148(b) and 175.177(b) (with respect to mirrors). A vehicle for which a derogation has been granted for medical reasons may only be equipped with a left exterior rear-view mirror, unless it was originally equipped with an exterior rear-view mirror on both sides of the vehicle. (c) obstruction. In the case of a vehicle referred to in this subchapter, the rear-view mirror shall be free of obstacles in accordance with § 175.110. (2) If a window is covered for the installation of a change room, cabinet or other amenities, it may be permanently installed at the plant or otherwise in special equipment or a fax machine. Two exterior mirrors must be installed to give the operator an unobstructed view of 200 feet to the rear. California and Arizona also have laws that prohibit hanging air fresheners or other objects from your rearview mirror. Our colleague JB Love, who works at our sister station Q98.5 in Rockford, Illinois, was the first to report it for his condition, so we followed because we know similar laws exist in our area.
1. A vehicle designated in this Subchapter whose plate, load or other material obstructs, obscures or impairs the driver`s free view on the highway or on a highway crossing shall have two exterior mirrors, one on the driver`s side and one on the passenger`s side, each having a reflective surface as follows: PENNSYLVANIA – There are several states where it is illegal to hang objects on a rearview mirror, and Pennsylvania is one of them. The little-known law in those states drew attention following the death of Daunte Wright, 20, a black man who was shot and killed by Minnesota police during a traffic stop on April 11. (a) the condition of the rear-view mirrors. Rear-view mirrors must be in a safe condition as described in § 175.110 (in connection with the inspection procedure). Essentially, it`s illegal if there`s something hanging on your rearview mirror that could potentially obstruct your vision. Here`s the Pennsylvania state law (a similar law, by the way, is in effect in New Jersey): The types of fines and the enforcement of these violations seem to vary, based on our Google searches. But it is certainly in your best interest to avoid this practice, as the laws of both states are officially in force. Wright`s mother, who spoke to him on the phone when he was arrested, said he told her he was arrested for an air freshener hanging from his rearview mirror. Police at Brooklyn Center, a suburb of Minneapolis, said Wright was arrested because of expired license plates.
