More than $2,4
million in revenue has been raised for the State by the police through fining
such errant motorists.
National police spokesperson Assistant Commissioner Paul
Nyathi said the operation was continuing and urged motorists not to be caught
on the wrong side of the law.
“The ZRP warns motorists against fitting dangerous bar headlights
on their vehicles. Since the commencement of an operation against fitting
dangerous headlights, police have arrested a total of 10 950 motorists and a
total revenue of $2 483 300 was realised for the State,” he said.
Last month, police also arrested 22 motorists across the
country for fitting vehicles with dangerous bar headlights under an ongoing
operation bringing the total to number to 8 416.
In July, police attributed extended headlights mounted on
vehicles for causing some fatal accidents on the roads.
Through Statutory Instrument 129 of 2015, Government banned
the mounting of additional headlights on motor vehicles. The law states that
those who want to make any modifications to their cars should first seek
authority.
The additional LED light bars that some motorists fitted on
their cars cannot be dipped, compromising the vision for other drivers. Herald
