question text	To ask His Majesty's Government what consideration they have given to creating new regulations on car headlight glare, in the light of the number of drivers reporting problems with dazzling, particularly from LEDs.
tabling member printed	Baroness Hayter of Kentish Town
uin	HL3598
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/11/2022 answer text <p>Regulations are already in place to help prevent headlamps, including those using LED technology, from causing dazzle and glare. Vehicle manufacturers must supply evidence that their new vehicles comply with international road vehicle approval regulations and the requirements applied to headlamps define maximum and minimum intensity, light pattern and position on the vehicle. In addition, domestic legislation prohibits the use of headlamps that cause undue dazzle or discomfort for other road users and headlamp aim is checked at the annual MOT test.</p><p> </p><p>Police recorded collision statistics in Great Britain do not show any discernible trend over time that would suggest an underlying road safety issue linked to advances in lighting technology. The Department’s officials continue to support international activity reviewing the relevant vehicle lighting standards.</p> answering member printed Baroness Vere of Norbiton question first answered 29/11/2022 13:16:20 answering member 4580 label Biography information for Baroness Vere of Norbiton
