The IWG proposed to revise the headlamp aiming criteria for new vehicles but the working party did not consider their proposal to be sufficiently developed for inclusion in the regulations. As a result, it was decided that this work will continue as part of a broader review of vehicle lighting regulations.<\/p>"}

However, the regulations governing the performance of lamps fitted to new vehicles are negotiated internationally through the United Nations and, responding to concerns raised by the public about headlamp glare, the UK secured support to establish an experts\u2019 group to review the technical requirements that is expected to report later this year.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Department has made no specific assessment of the effect of brighter car headlamps on other road users but the Police collect data on collisions routinely and the officer attending the scene can record up to six contributory factors based on their initial assessment of the incident. From 2005 to 2016, dazzle from headlamps at night is recorded in 0.77 percent to 1.04 per cent of accidents and shows no discernible increase over that time period. This suggests that any potential trend for increasingly bright headlamps is having little or no significant effect on road safety.<\/p>"}

A preliminary recommendation from the technical group on glare, in which my officials participate, was presented to the UN Expert Group on Lighting in October 2017. Under scrutiny, concerns have been raised, including by the UK, that the recommendation may not adequately address the glare problem. Further evidence was requested which the Department expects to be presented when the subject is discussed again in April 2018.<\/p>"}
