According to police, an East Bay CHP officer recently had to play the Grinch after spotting a car on Interstate Highway 880 with outside Christmas lights.
The California Highway Patrol’s Hayward office shared information about the incident on its Facebook page Friday afternoon, reminding drivers not to decorate their cars for the holidays.
The tweet featured a picture of the white BMW 3 Series 340i sedan adorned from front to back with Christmas lights, but it did not say exactly when or where the car was observed.
“While we appreciate the festive spirit, California Vehicle Code says extra lights on your car’s exterior are a no-go,” the message stated.
“Play the role of the Grinch (but with a heart two sizes too big) and remind the driver that safety comes first!” the post went on to suggest.
“With that said, keep the lights on your house, your tree, or even your sweater but not your car!” “Stay happy, stay smart, and stay legal!” was added to the post.
