drive without side markers

so side markers are getting really loose to the point where a top of the side markers are poped off and it's just hanging on its bracket. Will it eventually fall off if I leave it as it is? and if it does, is it okay for me to just drive without the side markers since I don't really mind it lol. Thank you.

Why don't you fix them? Being as visible as possible is always nice lol

I would assume you could get a fine.

I've seen one FRS around here with the drivers side sidemarker hanging out, not a good look. Don't do it.
