states like VA will ticket you if your lightbar covers are off, but not so much if you don't have VA plates, but.. they've been known to anyway
They can't, and if you pay it, they fooled you once.
Your vehicle's equipment, regardless of what it is at any time, ONLY needs to be legal in the state it is REGISTERED in.
if it is illegal to have a giant pair of boobs on the windshield in virginia, but not in ohio. it is perfectly legal to drive around like that in virginia, as long as the vehicle is registered in Ohio.
Wasn't so much alluding to VA ticketing you for it as pulling you over and annoying you for it if you're out of VA
No different than IL troopers pulling over non IL residents for not having a front plate , IE: NC doesn't have front plates, and even as little as I've driven my jeep since I've been in IL, there's been three occasions where a LEO or trooper has been facing me in traffic either sitting still or on the road and had them throw lights and pull behind me only to turn them off and pass me. One of the times they pulled me anyway, and still asked where my front plate was . Told them NC doesn't have front plates, trooper said "We do.." and i said "And..?" and it became one of those "*grunt* Nice jeep... Have a nice day.."
outside of your state, it can be an inconvenience, that's all I was meaning to say and I'm sure it didn't come out clear, many states have butted heads over those issues for years, the issue VA had with light covers was listed as a safety regulation at least for some time, and NC / VA did butt heads over it after VA was ticketing NC residents for no covers but that was back in the 90s and I haven't heard much of it since, as far as I know the attorney generals office handled my ticket

Well sort of. Needs real tires. But at least it's not like my sister's..... useless rock rails and nothing else....
