So I'm at the mall. In a really really well lit parking lot. Which leads onto a very well lit street.
Well lit enough that you could not see any differance whether your headlights are on or off.
So, being a little absent minded I forget to turn my lights on.
I pull out of the (bright) parking lot onto a (bright) street. As soon as I hit an area a little less well lit I notice my lights are not on and turn them on.
At which point I see flashing lights behind me and pull over.
I was already a little annoyed since the guy could have just flashed his brights at me.
But OK, check and make sure I'm not drunk and let me go.
But no, I got a bloody ticket for driving all 100 feet without my lights on.
Does anyone know if this counts for points on your record?
