>when it's dark, black and white motorists commit similar levels of traffic offenses

The article you linked does not support this claim. It says the proportion of blacks stopped is less in the dark around 7pm.

Read more closely, especially the bit about how they used daylight savings as a control, as it suddenly changes the written time of the incident but not the actual darkness levels at that time.
Can you just quote the part of the article that says something to the effect of "when it's dark, black and white motorists commit similar levels of traffic offenses"?
You're not going to get a response because the study has been debunked and wasn't able to support your claim.

Even this study showed that Black motorists commit more traffic offenses than White motorists at night.

I figured as much.
