how far can your kayak extend off tailgate

I got the red flag (that I only use 1/2 the time) but one thing I do use religiously is a red battery powered bike light velcro'd to the end of the yak when driving in the dark.

I think I need to pick one of these up. I have a red/orange flag hanging from the kayak, red and white reflective tape. I didn't think I needed a light while driving in the dark, but that makes sense.

I got a ticket for my stealth 14 extending 8 feet past my tailights. I had on a big red flag, more than 12x12inches. I think I can get this ticket dismissed, what do y'all think.

Is your vehicle's wheelbase 145.45 inches or more? Based on the CVC that was quoted earlier in this thread the limit is 2/3 the length of your wheelbase and 96 inches (8ft) is 2/3 of 145.45 inches.
