I had a cop cite me for turning my bright-ass bicycle light off at night while riding on a quiet, lit sidewalk at 2am.
That is entirely different than grandma getting in a black car and driving on a pitch black night, or a white car leaving their lights off during heavy rain and doing 20 below in the left hand lane.
driving with folded mirrors
I have had drivers who forgot to leave room at a stoplight fold their mirror to let me and the dozen other motorcycles by at a light.
Anything that is likely to have nuance can’t have zero-tolerance policies or you’re subjecting a bunch of people to disproportionate to unjust punishment.

If you were close enough to a car on a motorcycle that they had to fold their mirror in then you were too close and there was no room.
