New Law Prohibits
Parking Lights Use
Oregon drivers should think
t7ire before turning on their
parking lights while driving the
Department of juotor venicies re
minded today.
A new law, which took effect
August 20, makes it illegal to
,irive with Darking lights at any
time when headlights should be
used, James F. Johnson motor
vehicle director, said.
Headlights must be used from
a half hour after sunset to a half
hour before sunrise and at any
other time when vehicles and
persons are not easy to see at a
distance of at least 500 feet
ahead.
The new law, when before the
legislature, had the support of
the Oregon Traffic Saftety Com
mission and other highway safe
ty groups.
Driving with only parking
lights in fog or during early even
ing hours has been a contribut
ing factor in a number of fatal
accidents Johnson said. . 1
