Weekly Driving Tip June 29, 2007-Check Those Plate Lights and Brake Lights

Hello everone. Here is this week's weekly driving tip:

CHECK YOUR PLATE LIGHTS AND BRAKE LIGHTS FREQUENTLY.

One way the police can legally stop you, even when you're driving perfectly normally, is when you have some defective equipment. You could have a plate light out over your rear license plate right now and not even know it. It is important to check these lights regularly. All too often a stop for a burned out tail lights escalates into the nightmare of a DWI arrest. You can help to avoid this opportunity for a cheesy stop by keeping all your lights in good working order.
A quick persusal of my DWI Case Examples on my homepage:

reveals several DWI cases that started out with perfectly normal driving, but some nagging defective equipment issue that caused an unwanted encounter with the police. Go out and check those lights, especially before the 4th of July!!!!

Have a safe weekend!
