Regular and/or pre-trip equipment checks would remedy that situation... so it's still on the head of the driver when something goes out. It's part of vehicle ownership/maintenance to regularly check for these things.

This is why a cop can ticket you for a light being out, even if you claim you didn't know. You really might not have known - but you SHOULD have.

I really hate it when people make excuses for laziness.
