Police Cite Drivers for Christmas Light Violations

As the holiday season approaches, police across various regions are increasingly stopping drivers for decorating their vehicles with Christmas lights, which is illegal due to safety concerns. In Rotterdam, a car covered in bright lights was likened to a 'driving Christmas tree' by police, who informed the driver that such decorations could distract other motorists and pose risks on the road. Similarly, Washington State Patrol reminded drivers that using lights on moving vehicles is against the law unless parked on private property. In Wyoming, a driver received a citation for using blue and red lights in their festive decoration, highlighting the regulations against using colors that resemble emergency vehicle lights. Meanwhile, Boulder police are addressing issues with excessively dark window tints, which also pose safety risks for officers during traffic stops. These enforcement actions reflect broader concerns about road safety during the busy holiday season.
