  1  2 as follows:
  1  3    321.384  WHEN LIGHTED LAMPS REQUIRED.
  1  4    1.  Every A motor vehicle operated upon a highway within
  1  5 the state, shall display lighted head lamps as provided in
  1  6 section 321.415 at any time from sunset to sunrise, at any
  1  7 time the motor vehicle's windshield wipers are in continuous
  1  8 operation, and at such other times when conditions such as
  1  9 fog, snow, sleet, or rain provide insufficient lighting to
  1 10 render clearly discernible persons and vehicles on the highway
  1 11 at a distance of five hundred feet ahead, shall display
  1 12 lighted head lamps as provided in section 321.415, subject to
  1 13 exceptions under this chapter with respect to parked vehicles
  1 14 as hereinafter stated.
  1 15    2.  Whenever A requirement is hereinafter declared as to
  1 16 regarding the distance from which certain lamps and devices
  1 17 shall render objects visible or within which such lamps or
  1 18 devices shall be visible, said provisions shall apply during
  1 19 the times stated in subsection 1 of this section upon on a
  1 20 straight, level, unlighted highway under normal atmospheric
  1 21 conditions unless a different time or condition is expressly
  1 22 stated.  
  1 23                           EXPLANATION
  1 24    This bill amends Code section 321.384 by requiring a motor
  1 25 vehicle to display lighted head lamps at any time when the
  1 26 vehicle's wipers are in continuous operation.  Due to current
  1 27 Code references to Code section 321.384, the bill also
  1 28 requires, where applicable, the use of certain lights on other
  1 29 types of vehicles while the vehicle's wipers are in operation.
  1 30 A violation of these provisions is a simple misdemeanor
  1 31 punishable by a scheduled fine of $20 under Code section
  1 32 805.8A.  
  1 33 LSB 5796HH 80
