How many brake lights are required by law?
I think one of my brake lights may be on the fritz—it keeps flickering on and off randomly. I don’t know how soon I’ll be able to get to an auto shop. How many brake lights are required by law?

Good thing you caught it early on!
Three brake lights are required by law throughout the U.S., a regulation that was established in 1986 by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
A broken brake light is both a safety hazard to you and those around you and should be fixed as soon as possible.
