Never thought about that. We use magnetic LED lights so I know there is not a light on the plate. We have towed for nine years without being stopped but that does not make it right.
Yeah, and you probably won't get stopped if you continue using your current setup for another 9 years. That's just reality. LEO's have a lot more important things to do than check plate lights on RV toads that drive 99% of their time in daylight. That said, there's always a chance that you'll hit the LEO that's having a really bad day and is looking for the first violation he/she can find. They're only human too. But you've probably got pretty high odds leaning your way.
Not only that, one squad car would really hate pulling over rigs such as these and would probably require backup to even approach the driver, considering all the possible hidden dangers that could exist within.
You mean Florida requires backup when pulling over someone?? Our county deputies and state troopers pull people over all the time and don't have backup! Even in the middle of the night.
Not sure what the state or local law enforcement agencies might require for RV type rigs, I'm just thinking that I don't think it would be wise for one officer to be taking a chance like that. I mean you can't see inside like when approaching most automobiles. Come to think of it, I've never yet, seen a MH pulled over for a traffic violation in all of our travels thus far.
