Then how does Utah write tickets to out-of-state Jeep drivers who have oversize tires that extend beyond the fender flares?
Not all tickets written are correct, that's just a fact. I guess then NY troopers could write me for not having an inspection, even though my state doesn't require them.
Often the vehicle traffic laws will will have a disclaimer such as, "registered in this state". Which some officers ignore, forget that the exemption for out of state residents are in a part of the law few read or are just going off their cheat sheet.
Vehicles equipment violations generally only apply to vehicles registered in that state. Which would be different then actual "moving violations".
Now as far as writing out of state jeep drivers, they are probably only dong that because the Jeep drivers are causing a nuisance. That's a petty thing to write or singled out. Nor have I seen the summons to see if it's an equipment violation or an unsafe operation violation. .
