I know that was said in jest ... but we don't want anyone getting hurt over a traffic stop. ;-)

I know...the public generally dislikes being pulled over for what we think is a "trivial" violation like a burned out bulb (or bad ground), but it IS a legitimate stop.

Depending upon who you get.....it can result in anything from a "fishing expedition" to just a friendly notification that your light is out.

I have NEVER been cited for a burned out bulb in 40+ years of driving, I've always just been made aware of it and the officer was always courteous and professional. I mean...lets face it, a bulb is almost NEVER going to burn out in your driveway, so at sometime...we're all going to be driving around in violation.

Most cops are pretty cool with that.
