Oh my....the hostility.

I do know this....and much much more about the MVA and the MVAR.

My "point" was that even if your argument was that "only" commercial vehicles required mud flaps, that by your logic all pickups (including the lifted ones) would still require mud flaps.

However, if you are running a jeep with oversized tires and a suspension lift, you need them too.

This "commercial vehicles only need mud flaps" thing is bunk.

I don't care what your mechanic buddies say.

Question: Is a dealership responsible to keep tires on vehicles that are actually legal to take for a test drive? We were at one recently and the back tire was so smooth we could run our hands on it like it was a countertop. And they were going to let us take it out in the rainy weather. Good thing WE spotted it.
As WW3 develops, no one is going to be dissing the "preppers." What have you done?

When I registered a business in Kelowna. I was sold a green tag . It is a commercial vehicle tag . I was wondering why I have to pay that . Seeing as my vehicle is already insured for business purposes

I have no idea about the law . However if u crashed with their dealer plate it would be on their insurance . So I don't know if it would make much difference

No. They can't.
