Question on everyone's mind

Howie,

Looks trick but is this legal? I would hate to see a full day's work go down the drain if you get pulled over.

well I'm not 100% sure about how legal it is or not but cops down here don't really nit pick like that. I'm sure if I do something stupid to get pulled over in the first place then they'd say something. It's not that dark at night with the park lights on but during the day it is quite dark
