    I know they arent written by cops, they are just doing their jobs but like anyone else, they are first contact and anger usually is aimed at the wrong people.

    Factory mirrors arent convex, why are you running a convex rather then 1" spot convex?

    Ive driven without a RVM for over 10 years the GP is the only car ive kept it in due to the onstar and phone. Its easy for me to be against the use of them since im very used to not having one.

However, While the court fights were going on I read alot of vehicle codes. From federal down to my local town.

    I am very happy to figure this out as soon as I have his local town so I can read the local ordinance. SC state law is the same as federal law.
    yea SC doesnt really care about rear view mirrors...we dont even have emissions or inspection anymore..

    They can't change federal laws, but they can add to them.

    Federal says "You have to have at least two rear facing mirrors".

    State XYZ says "We agree, but we also want to add to it that you have to have three."

    They didn't change the original law of "at least two". They just raised their local minimum, which is still in compliance with the federal regulation.
