functions. Such lights may be used when the vehicle on which they are mounted is
standing or proceeding at a speed of no more than fifteen miles per hour. Such
lights shall not be used in a manner which may blind or interfere with the
vision of the operators of approaching vehicles.
		Any law-enforcement officer may also use spotlights, as authorized in §
