In Makhachkala, more than 130 drivers were punished for illegal LED lamps

Employees of the DPS regiment conducted raiding measures in Makhachkala aimed at identifying cars with illegally changed lighting equipment, the State Traffic Inspectorate of Dagestan reports.

Special attention was paid to vehicles with LED lamps and other light sources not provided for by the factory design. Such changes disrupt the correct light distribution of headlights, blind oncoming drivers and pose a threat to road safety.

According to the results of the raids, more than 130 drivers were brought to administrative responsibility under part 1 of Article 12.5 of the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation.

State traffic inspection warns that unauthorized change in the design of lighting devices is unacceptable – faulty or incorrectly configured light can cause a serious accident.
