then the cops are retarded ur required by law to have two functioning tail lights @ eye level on the furthest point of each side of the rear of the vehicle so cars in each lane next to u can be aware of u stopping you do not have to have a 3rd breaklight to be on the road and cops are to stupid and busy to try to remember what car is equipt with 3rd lights and which are not. being there are cars with out them they can not ticket u for a stock option. im suprised some one is actually thinkin so hard they asked this question..
smh
