VEHICLE LIGHTING IN THE DAY-TIME

AUTOVERLICHTING OVERDAG

This article puts forward a proposal for a ban on dipped headlights in the day-time based on the following four considerations: 1. Traffic in Holland includes more categories of vehicles than in other countries because of the great number of mopeds and bicycles; dipped headlights overemphasize the position of the motorcar. 2. Possibility for oncoming traffic of being dazzled, especially people on mopeds or bicycles wearing glasses. 3. Existing dipped headlights are too strong and cause visual trouble. 4. False feeling of safety for the driver. /TRRL/
