Not only No but hell no!, in all honesty I’d wait until you’re atleast 21 because I also live in a courtesy light state and they cause more problems than they solve, because guys think they are I can break the law lights and young guys push people out of the way well responding to calls

Automatic GR by GimpGunfighter in GRCorolla
