As explained, the lights mounted on the car's body could have blinded other drivers. “This is not allowed because if everyone uses too much lighting, there is a risk of blinding and, in this case, distraction,” the group said.
Cops said the driver likely took inspiration from TikTok, where this type of car decoration has become a pre-Christmas trend. He also boasted about the changes he has made to the platform.
The driver did not receive a ticket
