Capt. Davis thinks the motorists Of
the city and county should also do
using the strong headlights on cars
on the county road. Some of them
are so bright that it IS impossible for
a motOrisI approaching from the OPP

pull out to the side of the road and
stop until the bright lights have
passed or run the risk of running into
a ditch or cOlliding with some wagon,
pedestrian or bicyclist. These strong
lights interfere with my work Of en-
forcing the law" said Capt Davis,

these lights and I have to stop until
it passes The fast driver escapes as
