They will be driving with headlights turned on the same as other safety-conscious motorists. Drivers are urged to cooperate in the life-saving effort by keeping headlights burning, by strictly observing all traffic laws and by opei- ating their vehicles in a safe and sane manner. 1 Persons using their head lights for daytime driving orver the weekend were cautioned by the Highway Department to make certain the lights are turned off when vehicles are parked to prevent battery de pletion.
