§ 700. Scope and effect of regulations.

A.

No unsafe vehicle or combination of vehicles may be driven or moved on any street or roadway so as to endanger any person. A vehicle is unsafe if it is not equipped with such lamps and other equipment in proper condition as required by this chapter, or if its equipment violates any provision of this chapter. Transporting, moving or knowingly permitting such vehicles to be transported or moved is an offense punishable by a fine of not less than Five Dollars ($5.00) nor more than Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00), excluding costs, fees and assessments, unless another penalty is provided herein. However, the provisions of this section shall not apply to implements of husbandry, road rollers and farm tractors, except as hereinafter set forth.

B.

Any person producing proof to the court within forty-eight (48) hours that a condition or equipment for which the person was cited as defective, missing, prohibited, improper, unauthorized or otherwise in violation of this chapter has been remedied by the person shall be entitled to dismissal of such charge without assessment of court costs or fees.
