That is bull local ordnances do not supersede state laws. A good attorney could beat that. That would be like having a helmet ordnance in a city where it is a helmet free state. It could be defined as entrapment.
Most people that get the ticket don't fight it because they don't know any better. Me, I would fight it.
Tempe is a college town. ASU is there. They tend to try to act like they're their own entity in and of themselves.
Actually, there is a city that has a helmet law where it's a helmet free state. Myrtle Beach. They're handing out tickets left right and center for violations.

I didnt read all the posts; so someone may have said this already but: I think the switch is there mostly because some states (Nevada for one) require a bike to have no more that two headlamps unless the extra lamps can be shut off independently of the main headlamp. I can not see a reason to shut them off.

That is really sad when a city can supersede a state law. Makes you wounder what next doesn't it.

How about courtesy? You're ridin' behind your friend, at night, at a bike event, & you have your high beam & both passing lamps on. Yeah, you can be seen, but between the glare from the oncoming guy with the same three lights & your lights in his mirrors your friend can't see anything. Multiply that by the number of friends following you & the number of other "safety minded" riders at an event & you should be able to figure out why I ride at the back of the group............
Ain't that the truth! I was riding home from Laughlin one night and my buddy and his wife were behind me... He had on the passing lamps and each time I'd move to the other side of the lane... he'd follow, it sucked having those lights blaring, in the middle of the night riding across the desert... He was pushing 70 years old, and did not want to lead...

Okay, this is a stupid question but everytime I notice the switch I wonder why I would want to turn off my passing lamps. I ride with them on day and night, with my heated gear plugged in, on empty roads or in traffic. Sorry for taking up your time with this ridiculous question but I keep thinking I am missing something. Please, help save my sanity.
