    Winter driving tips and more
  • Headlights

    During the winter when driving in the dark is common, it's important that vehicles have proper lighting. High intensity headlights may cause other drivers to experience reduced visibility due to glare. Make sure your headlights are legal. Some after market replaceable light sources are not meant for highway use. Oregon law requires that headlights may NOT be blue or any color other than white or amber. Also, properly aimed headlights will improve your field of vision. Drive Safely. The Way to Go.
