PAGE, Justice
(concurring specially).
I concur in the result and the court’s analysis in reaching that result. I write separately only for the purpose of noting that, from a plain reading of Minn.Stat. § 169.686, subd. 1(3) (1998), it is not at all clear, as the court of appeals held in State v. Fiebke,1 that the provision prohibits a law enforcement officer from lawfully stopping the driver of a motor vehicle solely on the basis of a suspected violation of that section. Rather, as I read section 169.686, subd. 1(3), it only prohibits an officer from issuing a citation solely for a violation of its provision.

. 554 N.W.2d 755 (Minn.App.1996).
