Sometimes people also need to remember that it's not about themselves, it's about others and the implications their actions cause.
On Edit: I didn't read through the entire thread before posting. I appreciate the map that shows the requirements by state, especially since it confirms my statement above.

So let me get this straight:
You're cruising through Kalifornia with your 40' DP towing a 2000# Spark with no auxiliary brakes. You proceed through an intersection on a green light and some recreational MJ user blows through the red light at the same intersection at 50 mph and T-bones you, at the read axle, causing the violator to meet his maker. You think the MH driver would be "liable" for the death of the red light runner? You can't be liable if you aren't at fault; even in Kalifornia, the State where OJ walked..........
