I just got a ticket for driving a defective vehicle here in the state of colorado. The "defective" part was that my two main brake lights, I guess, were not working. However, the middle brake light (in the rear window) was working correctly. I was pulled over on a freeway here, and the officer had no other reason to pull me over. He simply said "did you know your brake lights are out?" to which I, of course, denied. Then issued me a $50 ticket for driving a defective vehicle.
This is not a "fix-it" ticket.
Also, since I was on a hwy, can the officer really tell that my brakes lights were out, since that is the reason he pulled me over.
Should I fight this?
