Well, I have to add, around here in the city areas where I live, it
does happen frequently that people _don't_ realize they have one
headlight out. With all of the streetlamps around, its difficult to tell
the difference. There have been a few times, when I'm in a rush that I
don't even notice for a bit that mine are not even on.
So, when an officer does stop me to tell me I have a problem with my
vehicle, I thank him for his politeness...

The driver can. Yes. You didnt get the point. THe
cops can
just as easy pull you over, fine you, and/or take your car
and/or license. According to the strict letter of the law.
They often dont, and, rather, politely point out that you
shouldn't do that.
Just because you have a headlight out that may even have just blown?
That doesn't sound like politeness to me, that sounds more like they
know it's "legal" to put the screws to the citizens, and are lording
that fact over them. If I have a headlight out, I already KNOW that it
needs to be replaced, that's elementary.
