Feel free to move this if it is not in the right location. I am contemplating installing a front hitch receiver. I am contemplating using that hitch receiver to mount a small cargo rack to, or something else equally useful. Does anyone know of any obvious vehicle code violations that this would brake or does it sound like something I would not have an issue with? Has anyone done this before?

Thank you,
Chris

I read it the same way, and road around for about 6 months with no center break light. No warnings or tickets.
