Millions of tickets for road safety violations are issued per year in the United States. The average safety violation fine costs around $150, but in some states, a driver can be fined up to $1,000 or more depending on the state where the offense occurred.
Under some of these laws, drivers may face a separate fee after they are convicted or found responsible for the offense. Due to the exorbitant fees charged by each state, the traffic ticket system is an industry generating billions of dollars each year.
Properly maintained and restored headlights help keep pedestrians safe and ultimately reduce the risk of accidents at night. According to USA Today, approximately 2,500 people are tragically killed each year at night when crossing a road. These tragic events are usually associated with poor visibility caused by cloudy or hazy headlights. While some states might classify these accidents as a felony, it is, therefore, your responsibility as a driver to keep your headlights up to standard to avoid being liable in an accident.
