Brannigan's Law, Er.. Californias Options

[mr_dude]

Anyone have good links to pertinent California Vehicle Law?

I've been going through the online CVC document and found fun stuff like:

You can have any color turn signal lens as long as they flash yellow or white in front and red or white in back and side markers flash yellow.

You have to affix as many plates as were originally issued to your vehicle by the DMV.

Photographers get special license plates.

If you're transporting explosives you can't drive more than 55.

But I I can't find anything on emissions with engine swaps (aside from giving notice of install) or how to find out how many plates were originally issued to your vehicle (I bought mine used and it came with one).

Part a says the fronts can be white. I'm wondering if I should print this and carry it with me.

Leads me to another important question, anyone know the law on traffic stops. Like officers have to state the reason they pulled you over etc.?

 
Turn Signal Lamps

24953.  (a) Any turn signal system used to give a signal of intention to turn right or left shall project a flashing white or amber light visible to the front and a flashing red or amber light visible to the rear.

(b) Side-mounted turn signal lamps projecting a flashing amber light to either side may be used to supplement the front and rear turn signals. Side-mounted turn signal lamps mounted to the rear of the center of the vehicle may project a flashing red light no part of which shall be visible from the front.

© In addition to any required turn signal lamps, any vehicle may be equipped with supplemental rear turn signal lamps mounted to the rear of the rearmost portion of the driver's seat in its rearmost position.

(d) In addition to any required or authorized turn signal lamps, any vehicle may be equipped with supplemental rear turn signal lamps that are mounted on, or are an integral portion of, the outside rearview mirrors, so long as the lamps flash simultaneously with the rear turn signal lamps, the light emitted from the lamps is projected only to the rear of the vehicle and is not visible to the driver under normal operating conditions, except for a visual indicator designed to allow monitoring of lamp operation, and the lamps do not project a glaring light.
