Nothing that I know of - Just urban myths. I have heard of judges and ADAs giving breaks to people who got tickets where the speed limit dropped suddenly and the officer basically ticketed them within 100 feet of the speed change, especially when the change is poorly marked.
I know Vermont law has something like the running lights, but I would never rely on one of these laws as my primary defense to a ticket.
