What is the minimum number of tail lamps required for vehicles manufactured in 1960 or later?

Vehicles manufactured in 1960 or later are required by law to be equipped with a minimum of two tail lamps. The purpose of this requirement is to ensure visibility and safety on the road. Having two tail lamps allows for better visibility to drivers following the vehicle, especially in low-light conditions or poor weather. This redundancy in lighting ensures that if one light fails, the other will still function, maintaining compliance with safety standards.

While older vehicles had different requirements, the two-tail lamp standard has become the norm for post-1960 vehicles to enhance safety and reduce the likelihood of accidents caused by insufficient rear visibility.
