Rear-mounted bike racks: Do the cops ever pull you over?

[vegasbabee]

I just got into biking and I'd like to get a trunk mounted double bike rack.

Do these obstruct your tailights or license plate to the point where The Fuzz might pull you over and give you a ticket?

 

[RC2]

Never.

Here is AU the answer is yes. I have been pulled over and warned that the
number plate is obscured.

Simple fix at Target for $20 and you make your own license plate holder/light.

Cheers,
Ben.

Never had it happen when I used to use mine here in the US (Michigan, Ohio, and Georgia).

A cop must have not got behind you in MI, im sure the bastards there would have pulled you over.

They work fine in Atlantic Canada.

And on the other side of Canada, been using mine for years and never had a problem.
