Wyoming car decked out in Christmas lights pulled over by cops as they warn against showy stunt
Christmas spirit in fourth gear.
A car covered in Christmas lights brought a little too much attention to itself — drawing the eyes of police officers.
Wyoming Highway Patrol posted a photo on Instagram of a Ford Mustang decked out in multi-colored Christmas lightbulbs.
“As the holiday season approaches, we would like to remind you of a Wyoming statue [sic],” the post reads, “no person shall drive or move any vehicle or equipment upon any highway with a lamp or device theron capable of displaying a red or blue light visible from directly in front of center or thereof.”
The statute, by definition, does not make it illegal to use white colored Christmas lights on your car.
Highway Patrol warned though it “might look cool and be festive,” decorating your car with lights is illegal and potentially dangerously distracting to other motorists.
It is not clear what type of penalty the driver of the brilliant Mustang incurred.
