The ones that do it usually have 3 or 4 light bars. People around here are starting to run them off the road in larger trucks. I think they are getting what they deserve. I watched it happen the other day. There is no way that's cool. In hs my 250 had a bunch of kc day lighters and I didn't drive around with them on
+100 What kind of ***** do you have to be to ride on the interstate with your light bar on? I drive a Focus during the week to work to keep miles off my truck and save money to buy cool stuff for it. There was a guy the other day riding my *** with his light bar blazing. WTF? Not a cop in sight...

Well so far the biggest deush I have ever seen was in a jeep I think, not sure because he had two or three light bars on, two of them were at wide as the vehicle and probably about 6-8 duallys all on plus the headlights. I couldn't see s@&! If I could have turned around the truck I was in I would have called the police and followed him and if he turned them off showed them on the dash cam or had a nice conversation with him. It takes a lot to make me mad but that can cost someone there life.

The worse part is people like that might make it a law where you have to have the light covered on a public roadway.

It's called selfish little ******. Their parents taught them they're only ones that matter, and the world revolves around them. I have the little buttplugs do it a lot to me when I'm in the big truck, they'll edge out just enough to shine in my mirrors, and just sit there. It's just a punk thing. One of these days, they just might blind me enough that I can't see the centre line, and wind up forcing them in the pickers if/when they go to pass. No, I wouldn't do that intentionally, but it sure is tempting.

They need to make it a law that off road lights need to be covered on roadways.

OK, I think the same way of ones driving with theirs fogs during the day, unless it's fogy, is it fogy all the time where you live?

No that's exactly what we don't want. All this does is hurt the people already following the rules.

1) these people are already breaking the law so they won't cover them anyways.

2) I don't want to have to stop and get out of my truck just to use my lights. I flip them on all the time on dark backroads with nobody on them. I wouldn't be able to do that if they had to be covered.

Don't know about the provinces, but there are some states that require this, and have for at least 35 years. It's pathetic though, that some are forced to have common sense.

In Texas, you could get away with using the light bar under the vehicle lighting laws. It states that any light exceeding 300 candlepower must not shine more than 70 ft in front of the vehicle. So if the bars are angled downward enough, it wouldn't really be "breaking the law."
