Sec. 22. (a) The head lamp or head lamps upon a motor-driven
cycle may be of the single-beam or multiple-beam type.
(b) A head lamp on a motor-driven cycle must be of sufficient
intensity to reveal a person or a vehicle at a distance of not less than:
(1) one hundred (100) feet when the motor-driven cycle is
operated at a speed of less than twenty-five (25) miles per hour;
(2) two hundred (200) feet when the motor-driven cycle is
operated at a speed of at least twenty-five (25) miles per hour;
and
(3) three hundred (300) feet when the motor-driven cycle is
operated at a speed of at least thirty-five (35) miles per hour.
(c) If a motor-driven cycle is equipped with a multiple beam head
lamp, the upper beam must meet the minimum requirements set forth
in this section and must not exceed the limitations set forth in section
20(1) of this chapter and the lowermost distribution of light as set
forth in section 20(2) of this chapter.
(d) If a motor-driven cycle is equipped with a single beam lamp,
the lamp must be aimed so that when the vehicle is loaded none of
the high-intensity part of the light will, at a distance of twenty-five
(25) feet ahead, project higher than the level of the center of the lamp
from which the light comes.
