Federal DOT Regulations specify that all cars and Pickup trucks 1967 and newer are required to have backup lights, and on automatics required to have a Netral start safety switch.

You can get a ticket for these not working.

LOL, well then a whole new set of regulations exist for you then.

Probably why the amber turn signals in back perhaps?

Is it one of those "venuseualian" or south africa right hand drive made trucks, or is it a left hand drive from the states?

Nice to see fellow truck enthusiasts from other countries on the forums.
