State Patrol Targets Night Driving Violations
Highway Patrol Officers Larson and Church have spent evenings this week stopping autoists who violate state laws on night lighting. Many cars operate with a single headlight or no rear light and some drivers refuse to dim. Few arrests have occurred, but last night a man driving without license and with insufficient lights was arrested and surprised by the stop. The officers suggest a pre exit survey to verify all lights are burning before leaving the city.
