Tiirn headlights'on and clean off thetar $0,400:it now: wfore sitarist.: , reVersing two words the Ministry now has increased, by an hour, timings when lights must be on. This is m an effort to cut down on traffickaE- cidents. Driverauf motor vehicles are affected by two recent changes in the Highway Traffic Act. As of January 1, 1985 a driver must report any accident or traffic collision where the apparent damage exceeds $700. This used to be $400. I'he amount was raised because even a very minor accident these days sees quite an actual high cost for the necessary, repairs. A driver still must report any acciL, dent in which someone has been injured or killed - the only change has been in the amount of apparent property 'damage. NOTE: this means damage of any kind, not only to a vehicle. Headlights on vehicles must now be swit- ched on from one-half hour before sunset to one-half hour after sunrise. Previously the Act had read "one-half hour after sunset to NOTE: Driver are still required to switch their headlights on in foggy, rainy or snowy weather. There are no changes in this safety feature. While on therstibject of headlights (which, of Course, includes tail -lights) it is no good just switching thein on if they are covered in snow or mud. After a snowfall you should clear the snow from both headlights and tail -lights. Failure to do so could result in a $53 -fine. The same applies to mud -covered lights. Now that snow is with us remember to en- sure your windshield and side windows are clear betooe you drive. Du nut ,04.4 scrape a tiny peephole in the ice the' extra few minutes taken to clear the windows and windshield could prevent you getting into an accident, where the delay would be longer and costly. The fine is $53 but the injuries or death resulting from failure to have a clear view is more important. A word regarding Speed limits. The Highway Traffic Act states that the speed limit in any municipality is 50 krn/hr unless otherwise posted. It is not necessary to post speed limit signs on any street to enforce the 50 km/hr limit (the signs at the entrance to • town on the three highways are stifficipt). Many drivers believe that the Suncoast Drive extension (between Highways 21 and - 8) does not come within the 50 knilhr zone; It does. The speed limit anywhere. in town (other than the parks).is 50 km/hour. Will examine policy of paying for drinks Mayor Eileen Palmer was questioned about sending Christmas cards on behalf of • the municipality and placing a Christmas •. • message in the paper when council met in regular session Monday. Councillor Jim Searis asked the mayor who authorized the sending of cards and Palmer replied that she had sent the cards. - . :—••••••---," • CIVIC CORNER The committee of adjustment will meet Wendesday, January -9 in the council chambers beginning at 7 p.m. • - A public meeting coned -rang a rezoning application for group homes will be held in the council chambers at 6.30 p.m. Monday, January 14.
