Buggies and Slow Vehicles on the Road
KRS 189.820 — the slow moving vehicle emblem, or reflective tape on a vehicle with no motor
Every slow moving vehicle on a public road, day or night, displays a slow moving vehicle emblem, mounted as near the center of the rear as practicable with its lower edge at least three feet above the road, and kept clean and reflective.
Who handles this in Kentucky: Kentucky Lawyer Referral Service; and legal aid programs and the state offices, listed in the Kentucky directory.
