LEO question

RE the new trailer hitch law.
Does the new law state that you can't have a draw bar in your reciever when not towing, or a ball on your bumper that covers your license plate?

Having the receiver in when not towing has saved my bumper a few times from a$$clowns rearending me. :D I would hate to think that's illegal to do now.....

[BigDoug]

I haven't heard of anything like that but would like to know too..

[Boatcop]

Don't know what "new" law you speak of. It's always been illegal to have anything obstruct the view of the rear plate.

Same Here. Had Mine In And A Guy Rearended Me. Nothing Happened To Me. But His Car Had Some Pretty Good Damage To It. After That I Told Myself I Would Never Tale It Off.

Jan 1st in Cali illegal to have drawbar in (I thought) when not towing.
Was told today by my mason that a sheriff told him just no ball in the bumper because it blocks he plate.
I figured it was because some dumb ass politico whacked his shin. :D
So which is it?

I think boat cop summed it up...
This was discussed before and there is no law.
5201 V.C. should cover it for you
