New Vehicle Code Changes Cited by California Patrol
The California Highway Patrol cites six million motorists about 133 vehicle code changes taking effect. Drivers must use low beam headlights when following within 200 feet at night and a mirror must reflect 200 feet ahead for new registrations after 1954. Registration cards must clearly show owner name license number and address. Caldwell notes these reforms boost safety and reduce glare and enforcement issues.
