"9. Mud Flaps. All trucks and trailers with four or more tires on the rear axle
must be equipped with safety guards or mud flaps behind the rear wheels.
These flaps must reach to within 8 inches of the surface of the highway and
are for the purpose of preventing the slinging of mud and slush. This provision
does not apply to pole-trailers or to a truck-tractor when it is being operated
alone and without being in combination with a semi-trailer."

According that the handbook, Stiles was wrongfully stopped unless he was pulling the trailer.
