jokomp3.blogspot.com - One day after a law went into effect requiring Massachusetts drivers to switch on their headlights when windshield wipers are in use, a pair of state lawmakers filed a bill to overturn it.
In a statement issued Wednesday, Representatives James Lyons Jr. (R-Andover) and Shaunna O’Connell (R-Taunton) called the requirement “burdensome,” “completely ridiculous,” and “another Beacon Hill money grab.” The pair has co-sponsored a bill seeking to repeal the requirement.
“The drivers of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts can be relied upon to use common sense when deciding if headlights are needed,” Lyons said in statement. “And that’s what my bill does.”
The current law requires drivers to turn on their headlights and taillights when their windshield wipers are on, when poor weather conditions prevent them from seeing at least 500 feet ahead, and 30 minutes after sunset or before sunrise.
“Passing a bill like this during an informal session is why Massachusetts gets an F in transparency,” said O’Connell in the statement. “This surchargeable offense is a gift to the insurance companies and a burden on the taxpayers.”
A spokesperson for the Massachusetts State Police declined to comment directly on the challenge to the “light law.”
“We enforce the law, we don’t get into legislative aspects of passing the laws,” State Trooper Matthew Guarino told Boston.com in a phone call.
