I looked up the Utah law and mine definitely don't extend to the center of the tire treads. I'll risk an infraction whenever I drive in Utah.
Would a vehicle with an out of state license plate be at risk of such an infraction? The Utah Code that you link to makes no distinction.
I ended up running my sun shade over the top of the overhead molle panel and so far I have no issues.That’s a cool add, but I’m running a spydershade under the Freedom panels. It’s awesome on those intense sunny days!
Ive been popped in VA for too dark window tint (as well as speeding ... maybe) with NC plates and the cop said "Our laws are still our laws and you have to abide by them when traveling through our state." So while it may seem like its BS they definitely can get you for it since each state does have their own laws which you cant ignore while you are there.
As a retired police officer in PA, allow me to clarify a bit on the "generally safe" status you mentioned. It is only good so far as a police officer's discretion. The letter of the law applies to any vehicle operated on PA highways. A driver/vehicle is not exempt from PA law simply because they are licensed/registered in another state. Just like a person is subject to the law of whatever state they're in, so is a vehicle. Doesn't matter if they're (person or vehicle) from Alaska, Hawaii, or a local.
Some states I believe still don’t have yearly vehicle inspections. When I was stationed in CA twenty years ago they only had a smog test to pass, so there were vehicles driving around without hoods, ect.. Many PA jeep owners run two sets of tires/wheels just for inspection.
My state doesn't require vehicle inspections of any kind. Instead, we have ridiculously high prices for our state tags.
State tags meaning annual vehicle registration? We got that, too.
