(b) Any person jogging or running during the time from one-half hour after sunset to one-half
hour before sunrise, shall, in addition, wear reflective material which is visible
by low beam headlamps from a distance of at least five hundred feet (500′). In no
event, shall the failure to wear reflective clothing be considered as contributing

reflective material they shall be issued a citation. If any person issued a citation
presents proof of purchase of reflectorized clothing or the minimum amount of reflectorized
material to the issuing police department within ten (10) days, the department shall
void the violation. Should an individual issued a citation fail to present the proof
of purchase within the prescribed time, he or she shall be fined fifteen dollars ($15.00).
The fine shall be paid by mail and paid to the traffic tribunal and shall not be recorded
on the driving record of the violator.
