| Purchased a new 2013 hyundai elantra gls 4 door. once a person turns on their daytime running lights all of the vehicles parking lights turn on as well. no other car manufacture has mandated all this illumination during daytime hours. on august 3rd 2012 at 11:40am i was issued a moving violation by a los angeles police officer in the city of van nuys, c.a. i was cited for violating california vehicle code section 24800 which states no vehicle shall be driven at any time with the parking lamps lighted except when the lamps are being used as turn signal lamps or when the headlamps are also illuminated. i explained the scenario to my lawyer and he advised me that the citation is valid because in c.a. the word headlamps in vc section 24800 is interpreted by the courts as the vehicles primary source of forward illumination and daytime running lights do not fall into this primary source category. to avoid future citations i highly recommend that if you operate any 2013+ hyundai product do not use the daytime running light feature because the parking lights will light up and you will be subject to a citation. i advised hyundai via a recorded phone call about this problem. if they do not take proper action to correct this they will be considered negligent. *tr | |||
