The Kauai Police Department said it will increase efforts to enforce motor vehicle laws regarding headlights, tire size, splash guards, bumpers and other equipment.

“We have been receiving complaints from the community, particularly in regards to head lights, oversized tires and height restrictions of motor vehicles,” Capt. Michael Contrades of the Patrol Service Bureau said. “In response to these complaints we are issuing a reminder to residents of the laws in place as we will be increasing our enforcement efforts.”

Kauai police issued more than 20,000 citations for traffic violations in 2010.
