Default how many people Haven't gotten away not having a 3rd brake light?

I've seen a few tegs wingless and 3rd brake lightless along with teg's that run type R spoilers with out a 3rd brake light. Has anyone ever had issues doing this?

Im pretty sure you could get away with it, if you mean cop wise. If you dont drive like an idiot in front of a cop he probably wont pull you over. I have had 5% tint windows all the way around on all my cars and I tend to drive like an idiot sometimes, but I guess cops here are nice or they just dont care about the windows because out of about 100 times only 1 cop has said something about it.

I took my stock gsr wing off and don't have a 3rd brakelight, and I passed CHP brake and lamp inspection. I also had several cops behind me at stop lights and no problems yet, been over 4 years.

Just install one. Why would you want to eliminate a legitimate safety feature? I assume you've never been involved in a rear-end collision. If you had been, you wouldn't be considering driving around without the CHMSL.

In my case, I was the one who got hit, and my lamp was working properly. I'd prefer not to increase my chances of that happening again.
