Oceanside Community Safety

I am thinking about upgrading the sealed beams on a vintage car to LED headlights. The LED headlights I'm considering are marked "DOT SAE" on the front. Does that mean that they are legal on roadways in B.C.? The gentleman that posed this question also supplied a web site URL with more information that promised DOT approval and explained that these lights were used by international Baja racing teams. Sounds good, doesn't it?

More changes are coming to make car insurance better for B.C. Starting September 1, 2019, customers with frequent or serious driving convictions will pay more for their ICBC optional insurance coverage so that lower-risk drivers can pay less.

A Local resident forwarded this email through info@oceansidecsv.org: "I'm writing to send a big thank you to the volunteers working this afternoon on Craig Street in Parksville. The volunteer checked off garage door opener and insurance decal expired. The garage door opener was really a hands-free Bluetooth device, but I had renewed my plates and neglected to stick the new decal.
