Vehicle Ins; I \ 1 1 | (Editor's Xo:e: This Is the thir 1 in a'series of articles dealing wit the requirements all motor vehicle must meet to pass tt)e State's nei Mechanical Inspection Program.) . i j RALEIGH. ? Have you ever face a single onrushing headlight an ' uneasily wondered whether the aj proaching vehicle was a motorcycl or an automobile with one headligt uui wonting ' "ave you ever inea i drive at night with your bwn light so dim you could hardly see th road before you? Then you know how importai good lights are to the saiety of nigt : driving. When the Motor Vehicle Inspe< ktion Lane opens in'your area, yoi vehicle must be able to meet certai sDecific requirements as far as ligl ing equipment is concerned. The Manual lists these minimui j standards which ail motbr vehicle ! must meet in order to be approved; I TAIL LIGHTS: "ail motor vehicle ! originally equipped with approve ! tail light or lights may not in thi respect be altered. Such light, ' c j lights, when lighted muit exhib j a red light, plainly/visible for a di i tance of hot Jess than 300 feet to th rear." Don't woVry if your car was orig nally built with only one tail ligh ; It will still pass the test if that on is in good safe conditiem and is vh ible for 500 feet to the rear. But if th vehicle was originally equippe i with two, then both of them must b i operating. STOP LIGHTS: "All motor vehicle i Originally equipped with approve stop lights must not in this respe< be alfered. Such light, or lights, sha present a red signal upon applfc; tlon of the foot brake, plainly visib! from a distance of not less than 5( feet to the rear." Note that this requirement doe not state that all vehicles must hav stop lights, but it_does say that the car was originally""buttr wit them, they must still be in goc worKtng order. PARKING LIGHTS: "All motor vi hides shall be equipped with pari Ing lights capable of presenting or or more white lights at the front an and one or two red lights at th rear, all of which shall be vislb from a distance of not less than 5( feet. All motor vehicles originally t quipped with dual front or rear par ing lights may not in this respect i 1 altered." j PASSING LIGHTS: "All motor v? hides orignally equipped with 1 means for dimming -or depressin : headlight beams may not In this r? spect be altered and such devlt shall be in good working order." AUXILIARY LIGHTS: "All mot< vehicles may be equipped with n< to exceed two auxiliary drivin lights mounted on the front an must be aimed in speh a mann< , that no part of the high intensity < ' 1 the beam shall be directed to t> left of the extreme left side of n< Y And Nutrition or and Parity ty and Vigor o / m m I Health Help from se djuby ' . * . . * Jjj RN^^LJ..

But if your vehicle is d equipped with them, they must ) | measure up to the stated specificaejtions. And no vehicle is allowed to it I have more than tvVo. Any or all uno authorized lights or warning devices :sl shall be removed before the vehicle el will be approved. HEADLIGHTS: Safety experts say that one out of every five cars has defective lighting equipment. The importance of good headlights j for the prevention of accidents is ir emphasized by the fact that in 1946, n 550 fatal accidents and 12,340 nonit, fatals in the United States were caused by either glaring headlights n or cases where rhe headlights were ?s missing or too dim. i . When you take your car! or truck , s I to one of the State's 40 mechanical d inspection lanes this year for its is | "physical check-up* certain head>r light requirements must be met?' it or the car will be disapproved, is The Manual has this to say about e headlights: .'{ "All motor,vehicles shall be equip | i- ped with'two headlights, the assem i t- ;blies of which shall be of an appro- | e ved type and in good working order. J 5- Each headlight shall be capable of I e j producing at least 3,750 apparent' d ; beam candlepower on the high or ' driving beam. ! "On symetrical, multiple beam ; headlights, the highest, or driving ! d | beam, of each headlieht shall h<? <tn -t aimed that the center of the high in- ! H tensity portion shall not be above , ? headlight center nor more than 7 in-} le_ ches below same at a distance of' >0 25 feet; not more than 7 inches to; the right or left of straight ahead >s at a distance. re "On assymetric, multiple beam if headlights, the high or driving beam h of each headlight shall be so aimed d ! that rhe center of the high intensity portion shall not be above headlight ! center level nor more than 7 inches t- at a distance of 25 feet. The center ie of the high intensity portion of the id driving beam of the headlight which ie does not regularly depress upon ople eration of a driving beam switch, 10 shall be aimed not less than 13 in* ches to the right nor more than 19 k inches to the right straight ahead >? at a distance of 25 feet.
