M: My iPhone battery indicator is
yellow
G: Yellow means Low Power
Mode is on.
Low Power Mode kicks in automatically when your battery drops to
20%, but you can also turn it on manually in
Settings → Battery or through Control
Center.
It reduces background activity, limits screen refresh rate, and dims
some visual effects to stretch battery life.
To turn it off, just:
- Go to Settings → Battery → Low Power Mode and
toggle it off, or
- Tap the yellow battery icon in Control Center if you’ve added it
there.
It’ll also switch back to normal (green or white) automatically once
your charge goes above 80%.
M: Name some secondary offenses like
jaywalking
G: Here are some examples of
secondary offenses — things police can only ticket you
for if they’ve stopped you for another reason:
- Jaywalking (in many places)
- Failure to wear a seatbelt (in states where it’s a
secondary law)
- Burned-out taillight (in certain jurisdictions
where it’s not a primary stop reason)
- Improper display of a license plate (like a missing
front plate where required)
- Tinted windows too dark (in states that don’t treat
it as a primary offense)
- Using a phone while driving without hands-free (in
states where it’s secondary)
- Expired inspection sticker (some states)
- Riding a bicycle without required lights or
reflectors (at night)
The exact list varies a lot by state or city — something that’s
secondary in one place can be primary in another.
If you want, I can give you a breakdown by U.S.
state so you can see what’s primary vs. secondary.
M: Anything else that some people think
should be primary offenses
G: Here are a few secondary
offenses that some lawmakers, police, or safety advocates argue
should be upgraded to primary offenses:
- Seatbelt violations in states where they’re still
secondary — advocates say primary enforcement increases seatbelt
use.
- Texting or other phone use while driving in
secondary-law states — safety groups push for primary enforcement to cut
down distracted driving crashes.
- Riding without a helmet (motorcycles, bicycles,
e-bikes) — often secondary unless tied to another traffic stop.
- Failure to yield to pedestrians in crosswalks —
treated as primary in some states, but not everywhere.
- Excessively loud exhaust or modified mufflers —
some want it primary to cut down noise pollution.
- Child car seat misuse — sometimes secondary unless
combined with another infraction.
- Unsecured loads in pickup trucks or trailers —
safety advocates point to highway debris accidents.
- Tint violations — law enforcement often pushes to
make them primary for officer-safety visibility reasons.
Some of these already are primary in certain states, so the
debate is usually about uniformity vs. local
discretion.
If you want, I can also list things that are never
primary anywhere but have regular proposals to change that.
