Yes indeedy!  It's a great way to avoid speeding tickets; i.e., the
cop pulls you over for speeding, you pass the attitude test, he
writes you up for the parking lights ($?) or no front plate ($10)
instead of speeding ($85+).

As far as I know, no self-respecting cop in this area would bother
to pull a car over for ONLY driving with parking lights--especially
where I drive (mountain road commute watched intermittently by the
highway patrol).

Jeannie & Wendy
Driving like this since March 1991--pulled over four times for "going
a little too fast", warning only three times, no-front-plate fix-it
ticket once.
