...From what I understand of the new law, you have to have your headlights on if the weather makes you use your windshield wipers so that they are in constant motion. (ie: it's not required if your windshield wipers are on intermittent mode)...
...what if you use Rain-X you ask? I think they determine whether or not you're in violation by seeing if the majority of cars on the road have their windshield wipers on... ...oh yeah... and I thought this law goes into effect July 1. that is all... bChoi! -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Cartman Sent: Thursday, January 20, 2005 3:15 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [D] Fwd: New Law?? I swear when I was learning to drive back in 1934, I was told that you should turn your headlights on whenever you have your windshield wipers going. It must be because if it's raining, it's probably also a bit dark, and it's harder to see other motorists without sunlight and when your windshield is being pelted with water... Could it be though that you'll get ticketed for CLEANING your windshield without headlights on? Can the CHiPs ticket you for that even if it's not raining? If that happens to me I'm calling Johnnie Cochran and taking it to the Supreme Court. C.
