Default Mass gen laws

I dont know about other states but here in Massachusetts I think you are fine.

Massachusetts General law, Chapter 90, section 7: "Every motor vehicle shall be equipped with at least one mirror so placed and adjusted as to afford the operator a clear, reflected view of the highway to the rear and left side of the vehicle."

The question is do you want to be pulled over and debate this with one of our fine State Troopers after having a glass of wine or two with dinner?

Dang, $0.97........ I might just put one on each vent just because they are cheap and I like looking at myself. I'm thinking the center ones might be good for that mini skirt shot. Where was this mod when I was in High School?
mini skirt shot?? Why use the mirrors, in high school I had a polished stainless steel overlay over my gauges in my CJ. MUCH better view with that thing


Course the gauges are in front of me now in the JK....damnit.

Got the mirrors sitting in the glove box, waiting to find a cop to ask him if it would be legal in PA ... cann't find one anywhere. Guess i'll have to get drunk and run a red light so they can find me ... i'll prob. forget to ask him about it then but at least i'll know where he hides.

i was thinking about just calling but i'm sure they wouldn't understand what i was talking about ... "you're going to put a mirror on your vent ???" LOL. I'd like them to see it so they can see how far back you can see and stuff like that.
Maybe i'm just looking for an excuse to go have a beer, i'll hold off on running red lights for awhile.

Very good Idea. I put the mirrors on yesterday and the one thing I like is you can hide them when they are not in use.
