law in texas
Im only 17 so this is kind of hard for me to understand but i have smoked tail lights and it seems to say when the sun is out you have to see the light when the brake is pushed at 300 ft and if its dark then you have to see the light when the brake is not pushed at a distance of 1000 feet?Am i correct on this?
