I proceed to also show her that my signals are still working and tell her that I'm heading home to get it fixed as soon as dalight comes back around. Freaking ( Insert swear ) cop still writes me a ticket.

Theres got to be some way of getting out of this.

I doubt it. You might get lucky but It's your responsibility to maintain your vehicle.

If you rearended someone because their taillights werent working and they said they just went out. Chances are you would still file the claim to get your car fixed.

(technically it would be you fault but using that as a hypothetical situation)
