MP probably waited until after the inquery and safety inspection before he wrote the ticket, so the time on the ticket will unfortunately be after sunset. I don't know what times are entered on a ticket, but you might want to compare those with actual sunset time. There is probably not enough accurate time noted to be of any use fighting it.  Was the tuber there after he was finished with you? Maybe that was his next target. |
If my memory serves me correctly lights are to be turned on 1/2 hr before sunset and 1/2 hour after sunrise. Now I have not looked at the regs about this for some time, but I believe that is the case, which says the lights need to be on at 7:50 PM
