How Many Times Must Motorist Be Told,

that torches can not be a substitute for headlights?


well at least twice if this example in Knoxville, Tennessee is anything to go by, twice in one 18 hour period a Sweetwater resident was stopped for driving his vehicle after dark while only using flashlights to light up the roadway, the motorist had strapped flashlights onto his bumper with a bungee cord, the motorist was first stopped at approximately 2:00am on February 2, 2015, in East Knoxville, the same vehicle was stopped by another officer at approximately 8:00pm on the same day in North Knoxville, in both traffic stops the driver was cited for Improper Headlights, Violation of the State Registration Law, and Driving Without Insurance, bungee-cording two flashlights to the front bumper of a vehicle is not acceptable as proper headlights and is very dangerous to the driver and other vehicles sharing the road, they added.
