Just like 102" wide trailers there are two sets of rules that deal with mirrows.
1) Federal law says that mirrows are not included in width laws. In other words if you are on a road that allows 102" wide trailers they can not tell you anything because your mirrows are wider than 102".
2) On state roads it is a differant story. Some states allow 102" wide trailers but the mirrows are included in this measurement. Other states do not even allow 102" wide trailers so having mirrows stuck out past 102" may be a problem.
Like another poster said in the thread below. It is very unlikely that anyone will say anything but it is still not legal. Look at all the RV's and boats that are 102" wide traveling all the back roads of America. I do know one guy that was scolded for pulling a camper and a boat at the same time on a state road. He was over length and over width. He was not given a ticket but the DOT cop did chew him a new one.
With all that said tell me this...... You are on a road that does not allow 102" wide traffic and involved in a side swipe accident. No matter who is really at blame who do you think a lawyer can convince a judge to side with. The car that is legal width or the guy that is 102" wide.

It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
