Walk It Through: The Drive Home In The Rain
Lighted lamps when the wipers run, a plate frame that hides nothing, and a signal for the last 100 feet.
A driver heads home in light rain at dusk with the wipers on and the headlights off, and an officer pulls the car over.

A practice walkthrough, not a prediction of how any real one will go. Legal information, not legal advice.
