Sorry for kicking the backside out of that debate, trouble is, when I was a plod I really liked laws that were clear - If person A does this to person B then person A is guilty of this offence. Simple.

With there being a clause in the lighting regs headlight section that says you don't need any lamps at all between dawn and dusk if you don't have front and rear position lamps fitted, I would expect to see a similar clause in the position lamps section and it just isn't there.

So, I guess it's down to interpretation of the headlight clause that the 'no lamps needed if you don't have position lamps fitted' includes the position lamps themselves. I just wish the reg's weren't so ambiguous.
