Blinded by the lights | Letter | Feb. 3


February 2, 2012 · 4:07 PM

My wife was coming home from an event on the island Tuesday night and was blinded by a small car that had replaced the stock headlights with some kind of laser light, on bright no less, blinding all who saw.

The addition of after-market lights on all types of vehicles should not be tolerated by law enforcement. Some trucks have up to six headlights (when not on bright).

If one cannot see at night, stay home instead of adding more lights blinding others. And, don’t get me started on drivers with lights that are not functioning.
