to the roof of the taxicab which shall indicate to the public that the vehicle is
or is not under hire. The rooflight shall be lit when the vehicle is available to
the public for hire. It shall be unlawful for a driver to fail, refuse or neglect
to operate such rooflight or to operate such light in a misleading manner. Such light
shall be inspected during such inspections as provided for in Section 29-30. Any vehicle found to have a defective rooflight shall not be operated as a taxicab
until such defect is corrected.
