LIGHTS: Get 'em fixed

| April 20, 2016 9:00 PM

I’ve resided in a number of cities, East Coast to West, including Europe. Nowhere else have I seen such a high percentage of vehicles with failed lights of every description — head lights, tail lights, stop lights and turn signals, than in the Coeur d’Alene area and surroundings.

This has caused me, and I’m sure others, some all too exciting moments while driving in the area.

C’mon folks, it’s such a simple thing to check your lights every so often — and it’s usually one of the most inexpensive things to have fixed at a shop — assuming you can’t do it yourself.

It’s a real safety issue so take a few minutes to check your vehicle’s lights — you could help yourself avoid an avoidable accident.
