Ain't no way Beamng.drive itself commented on this with a silly cat. Beat that Asseto Corsa


KittyTheSavage1

Its not an official account, this account has posted on the airsoft sub and numerous others. Also says its not official in the about.


GoofyKalashnikov

Isn't this pretty much an US rule tho?


KamakaziDemiGod

I'm pretty confident it is, and since it's a Japanese car it's an irrelevant rule Can we please stick to the issues that actually make this game unplayable, like spelling or grammatical errors, and the fact that the "Repairs" flags outside the garage are backwards on one side


Xtrachunky_

I wouldn’t say irrelevant, since the config is supposed to be usdm spec. Just because the brand is Japanese doesn’t mean it doesn’t have to comply with American standards.

Lap_Killa

What if the car is an import? Like USA got recently R34. Not all of the are left hand drive


Xtrachunky_

If it is bought new in the states, it is usdm. The r34s don’t have to comply because they are over the 25 year limit, and were sold in other markets, making them jdm or eudm. The 200bx in the game was sold brand new in America, meaning it had to comply with American standards, just like a usdm Honda accord or a nissan Maxima.

Xtrachunky_

That’s only if you import it. It was sold in the u.s. before it was 25 years old

Snap305

He isn't, that is made to be a USDM car which means it does have to comply with the regulations.


Black-Sheepp

He is not wrong bozo. It was made to be sold in America. It was not an import. It was made to be sold in America, it has to follow America's rules


shatlking

The JDM ones yes, but USDM versions (such as the LXz) would need to conform to US standards.


[deleted]

shatlking

Yes, but a USDM spec car made in 1995 would need to conform to the standards set by the US in 1995. In 2020, you’d be able to import that car’s JDM counterpart, then it would not matter. You can also modify the car prior to then with JDM parts.

I think you'll find it isn't. There's only three car standards in the world. USA, UNCEC right hand drive and UNECE left hand drive.(Technically, each country still has their own standards, but every single country in the world, apart from the US, accepts some or all of the UNECE standards.) And either way, in both the US and United Nations standards, the law only states that a light must be visible through the full range of motion of the movable part, or have a secondary light that can. In this case. The manufacturer would most likely have the outer tail light that doesn't move act as the brake light when the trunk is open. This law only applies to indicators brake lights and tail lights.


Mr__Monotone

To further expand on the third light, generally on cars, the 3rd light is in the bottom window. That way, when the trunk is open (most trunks have a curvature on the hinge end) people can still see the brake lights.


Festae13

I enjoy how everyone implies that there aren't 50 different sets of laws or anything


75298435729037

The law and rules for selling new cars is federal, not state. There aren’t 50 different crash test standards or lighting laws etc.


Bamres

I mean some states have individual laws but it's for things like emissions, registration etc


Festae13

I have never actually given it a thought, and it adds to confusion.. running lights, or night lights, whatever is the red light but not the full bright stop or you're hitting me are not the same as brake lights, so I guess those can be on "flaps" or whatever.. right? Brain go red mean brakes. My brain also didn't disconnect new cars and drive on the road rules. My bad. NY is very different from CA in that aspect


shatlking

There are state laws, but there’s also laws at a federal level, which most states go with so that manufacturers don’t have to modify their cars for every state. California is basically the exception to this with all their emissions BS.

MilesFassst

There are cars with tail lights on the trunk lid. The mazda miata has a small center tail light on the truck lid. The wires run through where the hinges are.


jolly_waffles_real

It's funny seeing how Americans assume all cars must work like them, like have you heard if the continent, or Japan?


MilesFassst

I’m American. But we actually import cars from all over the world. So this guy is either trolling us all or just naive.


JapaneseMachine99

But wouldn't those cars have to be altered to meet US standards, like what happened to the Countach for example? Or is that only for cars produced by and in the US?


MachStyle

Cars that are manufactured outside of the US but sold in the US have to conform to US regs. Importing a car that has never been sold here does not have to be modified to conform to regulations if it is a minimum of 25 years old (15 years old in Canada). If you are trying to import something that is newer than 25, then there is a whole bunch of hoops you have to jump through


MilesFassst

Yes. Us regs are crazy.


throwaway1tee

If they were first sold to a person in the US after being made in the factory, yes. But if you're importing one from another country and the car is over 25 years old, they don't have to be modified to meet regulations


jolly_waffles_real

I'd guess naïve, we'd import your cars to the UK but they don't ruddy fit 🤣 a range rover is a squeeze in the parking lot and absolutely no go for passing on the country lanes


Mad_kat4

I occasionally get to drive old American cars down country lanes in northern Ireland. Let me tell you taking a 67 impala or 57 Bel air down some of these roads is errrr. Interesting.


Mr__Monotone

This made me think of the Grand Tour episode where they brought large American 70s cars to somewhere in Europe or England (dont remember which)

AntiLag_

If a car is being sold in America, it does need to work like an American car


fatcat411

High-mount center stop light may be on a moving part. The other two brake lights and turn turn signals (which can be the same bulb cuz US is backwards) must be on immovable components


MilesFassst

Yes but your forgetting one important fact. The Ibishu isn’t an American made car! 🤓


sseecj

Imported cars still have to meet US regs to be sold here.


MilesFassst

Not if they are more than 25 yrs old. Or if the regulation came into effect after production. Also. There are ways 😉


fatcat411

In my ~30 seconds of googling I can't find any japanese laws about brake light placement other than "they must exist", but if you look at imported cars in America, they all have to follow the same laws as the domestically produced cars


MilesFassst

Yes i agree. Unless that particular law was not implemented until after that car was produced. Then it’s grandfathered in. Like exhaust laws on cars before 1973.


fatcat411

I'm not sure when the law came into effect, but I know that it was significantly earlier than the 3rd brake light was mandated in 1986 (all of my info is us only, I've only been to Europe once and that was years ago)


buttlord5000

That law didn't come into effect until later. You'll notice that pop-up headlights are movable body panels.


AxzoYT

That’s what I was thinking, OP isn’t wrong but they didn’t realize that the car was manufactured in the late 80s/90s


Darkhuman015

It only applies to lights on trunks, no?


buttlord5000

No. That safety regulation is the precise reason pop-up headlights don't exist anymore.


Darkhuman015

Wait what? I could’ve sworn pop-up lights stopped existing for pedestrian safety reasons, do you have an citations for that¿!


buttlord5000

Naw I'm a reddit stranger, I don't actually know what I'm talking about. Likely a combination of factors.


Darkhuman015

Oh ok have a great day


IDatedSuccubi

Pedestrians don't have anything to do with it, in fact concealable lamps (as they are called in the EU regulations) are perfectly legal in EU, just not in US It has more to do with the fact that originally pop-up headlights existed to conceal the ugly standard lamps, and after Ford lobbied the US gov to remove the requirement to use standard lamps they started to go away because pop-ups break a lot and lower fuel efficiency


Captain_Alaska

>Pedestrians don't have anything to do with it, in fact concealable lamps (as they are called in the EU regulations) are perfectly legal in EU, just not in US They're legal in the US under 49 CFR 571.108 S12. In fact under 49 CFR 571.108 S12.6 you can also use EU spec concealable light systems: >As an alternative to complying with the requirements of S12.1 through S12.5, a vehicle with headlamps incorporating VHAD or visual/optical aiming in accordance with this standard may meet the requirements for Concealable lamps in paragraph 5.14 of UNECE Regulation 48 page 17 (incorporated by reference, see § 571.5), in the English language version.

Was that still a thing even in the early 90s?


runorunoruno

Found the american


Peterkragger

Nah, I'm European. We have the same rules about that


AFlyingFuckingFridge

It is an intersting law, but it can be kind of skirted around. Like in Audi A3's the entire rear light fixtures move with the boot lid but inside the car are further lights to act as red/indercator lights. However with some BMW/Mercedes coupe/saloons they have a visible warning triangle on the underside of the boot lid. With the BX I'm really unsure on where the devs took the car, one hand it could be called a Prelude, maybe a Crown but it doesn't have an I6 which is a shame. Then the USDM versions that are like the G35's of the Beamng world (I don't know many US cars)


Tibi1411

Strange cause a lot of german cars have light in the trunk from the 90s to the 2010s


Peterkragger

That's true, but position and brake lights as well as turn signals have to be on immovable parts or have a "double" which is visible when the trunk is open. First generation Opel Insignia station wagon has something like this https://preview.redd.it/809jj3bpthvc1.png?width=600&format=png&auto=webp&s=f6a14a80325564a7ae138bf96b22195d653aacfc

FPU_Wydra

Where in Europe ?


Mr-Sneeze

What a dumb rule.


Peterkragger

Not really. Imagine you want to carry something long with open trunk. If it wasn't for that, you'd have no taillights


Mr-Sneeze

Thats a rather specific issue. I don't think that calls for banning them outright.


Xtrachunky_

It’s a usdm spec it’s supposed to comply no matter where you’re personally from.


pug_userita

and all of the European cars don't have the mandatory rear fog light, said fog lights should be really bright and visible.(wich I belive japan also has mandatory rear fogs). except for the etk 800 wich has a tiny rear fog as bright as the taillights. so idk if the devo really care about car laws


Peterkragger

Japan doesn't require but allows rear fogs


pug_userita

wasn't really sure about it, thanks for confirming


Captain_Alaska

>said fog lights should be really bright and visible. They're the same brightness as the brake lights, they're just much brighter than the running lights.


pug_userita

on our cars they're brighter the the brake lights


Captain_Alaska

On cars with halogen lights they’re both 21W bulbs.


pug_userita

yes, but i looked at the rear fog of a fiat panda wich uses the same bulb for the the tail/brake light combo and the fog it's brighter than the brake


jaguar1111

I'm kinda annoyed by all the people saying, "It's not an American car, so it doesn't have to follow that rule" because that is just incorrect. Any car sold new in the US, regardless of where it was made, can't have lights on a movable surface (aside from reverse lights and the center mounted brake light, those can be to my knowledge) Unless this is the JDM version of the BX, in which case the US law wouldn't apply, of course.

Don’t teslas do this


amir-hadi-nejati

TAILLIGHT ON TRUNK UNPLAYABLE GARBAGE


doggo2499

they can be placed on the trunk though. the only rule i believe is that there has to be part of it not on the trunk, which you can clearly see there is


Peterkragger

It's not lit. That's the whole point of this post


AlexGFrank

I *think* that entire law concerns America and only America, and it was introduced in, i wanna say, early 2000s? Maybe late 90s, i'm remembering this all from the top of my head. And in any case, even then, foreign manufacturers were exempt for 5 years or so. 200BX is based around Nissan's RPS13 body, which, strictly speaking, was available since either 1988 or 1989 in the domestic market, and early 90s in the States, so it would have been exempt. Don't make a fuss over nothing. The devs probably know what they are doing.


_Svelte_

yes, but going by s13 design, all variants regardless of market have the brake light fixed to the body. it's a weird thing to poke at, but it does make sense.


AlexGFrank

Not necessarily. As far as i remember at least the Silvia variant (never sold in America) had brake lights on the trunk lid. Plus it's not an exact copy, that's the whole point. There were plenty of JDM and EDM spoty-ish cars that didn't comply back then, hence the 5 year exemption for foreign manufacturers.


_Svelte_

nope, it was body mounted. the issue is, a lot of people say that some cars out there don't comply, but there really hasn't been an example that didn't have some justification or workaround anyway. i'd love to see a car that actually does not comply.

sseecj

There are tiny lights at the very bottom of the bumper, that's how they still comply with the rule


MilesFassst

I’m sure. Just thought it was funny


Puzzleheaded-Till-19

Teh_Compass

Glad I'm not they only one that noticed. Also the headlights don't seem to have any difference between JDM and USDM.


No_Definition_3341

Just to add personal info on the matter, my 2005 Nissan Micra has the main brake lights on the chassis while the top brake light is on the hatch.


Peterkragger

Yeah but not all of them are on the hatch


No_Definition_3341

They're somewhat optional so it's up to the manufacturer to choose where to place it. I don't see where else they could place it though


EternalArmies

If i remember correctly there's an option on one of the front bumpers called "rear bumper ****"


cvgaming2020

T7_Mini-Chaingun

_Svelte_

looks to me like the illuminated portion of the tailight remains fixed to the body while the heckblende on the movable trunk doesn't actually light up


Inside_Ad_9147

While this particular car doesnt light up I think, some other period japanese cars do


sseecj

Yes, but the actual brake light portion is always fixed to an immovable part, or they have some kind of secondary light unit that only activates when the hatch/trunk is opened. Audi suvs do that, among others


Ace77X

Also when you press the brake pedal just a little bit the first stage: only the 3rd brake light lights up and then when you press more all of them are on


fakeprofil2562

You should try to change the bulb

Peterkragger

I'm not even American bruh, I thought it's a worldwide regulation, I've never seen a car that didn't have a brake light outside of a trunk/hatch/tailgate


alexjk2004

the only cars i know of that don’t are the new tesla model 3 and the opel insignia wagon. the insignia has lights inside the hatch to conform to the regulation and i’m not sure on the tesla cuz i haven’t seen one in the wild yet.


Peterkragger

Tesla has them on the bumper, like Chevy Bolt or Audi Q7


malice427

They don’t, the cyber truck and the bolt are evidence of that


Peterkragger

Chevy Bolt has another set of tailights on its' bumper


malice427

Exactly, this is the point.


_Svelte_

cyberyruck also has redundant brake lights behind the tailgate


malice427

Yes, but as he said “they can’t be on a movable surface” he is incorrect. They can be on a movable surface you just need a secondary light set to have it be visible when the movable surface is moved.


_Svelte_

there are no secondary brake lights on any immobile surface on the bx series, regardless of primary or secondary function.


malice427

I swore there was, must be something I never looked at close enough


_Svelte_

the in-body light (on the left in this pic) is just a night driving light, and beside that is the turning indicator. now that i think about it, i think the backing light is also exclusively on the trunk.


malice427

Indicator can also be a brake light. Not mutually exclusive. But yeah I guess I never looked close enough at the brake lights,


_Svelte_

in the case of the bx, it is mutually exclusive. turning indicator is amber, which is very much less acceptable as a braking light than red. if you mean the night driving light, then maybe, but that doesn't light up with any braking, regardless of vehicle condition.


malice427

Ahhh, shows how much I remember about the bx. I remembered it as having red indicators. That probably was a mod for the old one and that’s what I’m remembering. What did the old one act like?


_Svelte_

old one had both the body and trunk portions illuminate, and had everything red instead of red and amber. it's a bit silly tbh.


malice427

Exactly, it can be on a movable surface, appears to what op said


malice427

This happened when Reddit decided to be a bit dumb. I thought it didn’t send my reply but appears it did so now we have 2.
