The tires must be covered to the full width to the centerline or lower as viewed from the rear.  Many stock vehicles do not meet this requirement....

There is a HUGE difference between an XJ at stock height with stock mud flaps and a fullsize truck lifted with 37" lires.  Its really beside the point since he was not in compliance with the rules and acts fumed when hes gets caught and fined.

Personally the tickets where a bit retarted my buddy chris has mudflaps on his towrig (04 cummins on 37's) and they gave him a no mudflap ticket because the flaps werent as wide as his tires (inch or two to narrow)

well dougie, my tires stick out more than half way on the YJ and i haven't been given grief.   if a cop pulls me over i will also respond 'yes sir i know, the bigger flares are on order from Modern but they take 4 weeks to get in cause they're all slow.  i'm really sorry officer.' 'or i could be a dick.   5$ says Chris gave him lip of some sort or tried to act tough or cool or argued or something.  there is always a side of the story you don't know.  just like your buddy that got knocked the F@$& out at the bar 'didn't do anything man i didn't do anything' even though he conveniently doesn't remember hitting on a guys girl the whole night then pinching her arse...............

theres always something to instigate it............

McLean will never see me on a  long weekend again.  Last year i was pulled over 4 times for routine checks, finally the last time I was pulled over a young peace officer came over and asked if i was drinking, and I replied"No"  I was driving a Ford Taurus Wagon with my two kids in the back and my wife - a real party mobile.    He took my registration back to the car with him and when he returned he said it was expired and I had to rip it up or he would fine me for something else.  So i ripped it up then he gave me a $250.00 ticket for no registration :(     

When it was all over i went to get new registristation and they said it was not expired - so i put the ripped up peices back together and what do you know it wasn't expirded.   and would cost me more to fight it then it was worth cause i would have to go to cochran to fight it.

Anyway i hold grudges so the mclean peace officers can kiss my ***   - 

oh and what really got me ticking was as he was ranting to me about his duties  a honda civic putted by with at least 8 people in it, lol.   all ducking down and stuff, but he was to busy giving the family man a ticket for noting rather then busting the young punks.

there my rant is done -  :P
