‘An attempt was made’: Deputies catch driver using flashlight for headlight

DOOR COUNTY, Wis. (WBAY/Gray News) - Deputies in Wisconsin said they caught a driver using a flashlight as a headlight.

On Friday night, the Door County Sheriff’s Office said deputies stopped a vehicle for speeding on State Highway 42.

The sheriff’s office said the vehicle was missing a driver’s side headlight and that a handheld flashlight had been placed and pointed forward as a substitute.

“While an attempt was made to increase visibility, a flashlight is not a safe or legal replacement for proper headlights,” the sheriff’s office said.

The sheriff’s office didn’t say if the driver would face additional citations for the headlight.
