Q & A
|
Q. When stopped by a police officer for a motor vehicle violation, don't I
have 24 hours to produce by license and registration?
A. No, your license and registration must be with you while operating a motor vehicle. |
|
Q. Can't I pull into a handicap spot or double park, or park in an illegal spot
(hydrant, crosswalk) as long as I keep the engine running and remain in the
vehicle?
A. No, if you pull into a handicap spot that means a handicap person may drive by and not have access to that spot. If you double park or park in an illegal spot you are impeding normal motor vehicle traffic and pedestrian flow. |
|
Q. Sometimes I see drivers flashing their headlights to warn other drivers of police
speed traps. Is this ok to do?
A. It is not "normal operation" for a vehicles headlights to flash on and off, so you might be pulled over for a defective equipment violation. Ethically, you should keep in mind that the driver you are warning could be a drunk driver or other road menace that needs removing. |
