Deputy reminds us to be safe on the roads
Submitted by Howard Owens on December 12, 2010 - 12:57pm
Deputy Brian Thompson e-mailed this reminder for drivers to slow down and be mindful of road conditions:
Please remember to drive with headlights on in inclement weather. Especially fog and rain. Conditions for black ice and hydroplaning are peaked right now. Please slow down and don't use cell phones or text message. Keep eyes on the road, reduce speeds and increase following distances. The life you save may be your own. Thanks! NY State VTL 375 2a1 is applicable.
The vehicle and traffic law mentioned by Deputy Thompson refers to having two working headlights.
Headlights are required a half-hour before sunset (today, at about 4 p.m.) through a half-hour after sunrise (tomorrow, that will be about 8 a.m.), and any time conditions require windshield wipers.
