TEXT: Dear Ms. Steed:

I was recently contacted by a constituent, Angelo R. Collica, regarding a plan he has developed for a lighting safety device which is not currently authorized for motor vehicles.

Essentially, this device will promote driving safety, relieve lane changing tensions and create a more relaxed atmosphere on the highways. I would appreciate your providing me with information as to the requirements necessary to install lighting devices on motor vehicles. Should you have any questions or require additional information, please feel free to contact Alice Lara of my district office at (619) 691-1166.

Thank you for your assistance. Please respond to me at 430 Davidson Street, Suite A, Chula Vista, California 92010.

Sincerely,
