CHP Ticketing For No Lights On In Daylight Headlight Sections

In these days of cash-strapped government the California Highway Patrol is now ticketing vehicles who fail to turn on their lights on roadways marked with Black and White "Daylight Headlight Section" signs for not turning on their headlights. (If the sign is yellow and black it is merely advisory and you won't be ticketed for having your lights off.) The fine being meted out is $203.

What a way to balance the budget. You go CHP. Nevermind the Amber Alerts and DUI's, it's those disobedient drivers who are driving in the daylight without their lights on that are the real scoundrels.
