    Default "Driving Without Headlights", CVC 24250: Does It Carry Points

    I got a ticket in Los Angeles, CA under CVC 24250. The ticket states "no headlights driving in darkness (wet roads)".

    I had another ticket within last 18 months so I understand I can still ask for a second traffic school but it's a big hassle both scheduling it and attending it (12hr, no on-line option), in addition to the extra fee. Thus, my question is: do I need the traffic school at all? On the internet, I can find opposite answers! For example, on this forum, the same highly respectable poster has previously said that 24250 does give points for the insurance:
    http://www.expertlaw.com/forums/show....php?t=46653#3
    and that 24250 gives "no points":
    http://www.expertlaw.com/forums/show...9989&page=2#12 ,
    http://www.expertlaw.com/forums/show...hp?p=112373#12


    Other sites add to the confusion. Thus, let me ask three very specific questions:
    a) is my ticket considered a "moving violation"?
    b) does it carry "points" on my driving record?
    c) Is the record of CVC 24250 conviction going to affect my insurance (and does the answer depend on the insurance)?


    Sorry for being so verbose, but I think this confusion should be cleared, as opposing opinions to all the tree questions are out there on the net, with opposing reasonings of how one follows from another.

    Thanks in advance!

    Question Re: "Driving Without Headlights", CVC 24250: Does It Carry Points

    Hi All,

    Thanks much to everyone for such an informative forum. I have went through most posts on CVC 24250, but am still not clear about the following:

    Are day-time running lights on front of the car (right under regular headlamps) considered "appropriate lighting equipment" for purpose of CVC 24250?


    I too got a citation 24250 last night while driving a Honda Fit, which has day-time running lights on as soon as the car is started. I was driving in a well-lit area and did forgot to turn the knob to the regular lights. Since the day-time running light was on, and the highway was brightly lit because of some construction going on, I didn't even realize that my headlamps were not on. Do you guys think I should contest this citation on account of having day-time running lights on?

    Thanks much for any advice, greatly appreciated.
