Headlights: They're Not Just for Nighttime
When troopers pull motorists over for not having their lights on in inclement weather, the majority of them say they had no idea it was a law. Unfortunately, ignorance of the law is no excuse. There are three instances in which the law requires you to have your headlights and taillights on – and only one of them is nighttime. To find out what the Minnesota Vehicle Lighting statute requires, as well as some tips you may not have thought of, read

Summer Should Be Fun, Not Tragic
 The days between Memorial Day and Labor Day are the 100 most-traveled days on Minnesota roads. But all that extra vehicle travel can lead to more crashes and more deaths. Halfway through the most traveled days of the year, preliminary numbers show 76 people have died on Minnesota roads so far. That compares to an average of 65 people dying during the first half of the summer during the same time period (2017-2020).
Our blog will show you what Minnesota law enforcement agencies are doing – and what you can do, too – to keep summer from becoming tragic.
