At Hunter Insurance, we are committed to keeping you informed to ensure your safety. With many rainy days certain to happen this Spring, we would like to remind you of the new windshield wiper law in Massachusetts.
As of April 7th, the new law requires drivers to have their headlights on if their windshield wipers are in use. It was put into effect as a way to increase visibility of other vehicles during inclement weather and to prevent accidents. The law also makes it mandatory to use your headlights thirty minutes before sunrise, and after sunset. Drivers should note that this law includes the use of both headlights and taillights.
Please keep in mind that this law is already in effect in Rhode Island and Connecticut. Although this is only considered a minor violation, driving with these types of instances on your record could have a future impact on your insurance premium.
Please call us at 769.9500 if you have any questions or would like to review your current auto insurance policy.
