Regulation 27 of the Road Vehicles Lighting Regulations 1989 already contains a general provision preventing headlamps from causing undue dazzle or discomfort to other road users. 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>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/3991", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Jesse Norman"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Hereford and South Herefordshire"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Jesse Norman"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2018-04-16", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2018-04-16T16:38:29.113Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "27"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Transport"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Transport"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2018-03-28", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Motor Vehicles: Lighting"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether his Department plans to review The Road Vehicles Lighting Regulations 1989,1989 No. 1796, PART III, Regulation 27; what assessment his Department has made of the effect of brighter car headlamps on other road users; and if he will make a statement.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4649", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Thelma Walker"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Colne Valley"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Thelma Walker"} ], "uin" : "134899"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/872658", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Transport"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/872658/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

This offers a further opportunity to pay the original charge without accruing a fine. This avoids penalising road users that are unaware of the payment arrangements, and raises awareness so that advanced payments can be made in the future. Highways England uses a private collection agency called EPC plc to chase those foreign drivers who do not pay tolls and penalty charges.<\/p> <\/p> Regarding the HGV Levy, the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) note that enforcement of non-GB HGVs is a major priority for them. In 2016-17, it checked just over 88,000 non-GB HGVs at the roadside, which accounts for more than 62% of all HGV vehicles stopped for enforcement checks.<\/p> <\/p> From those checks, DVSA issued just under 17,000 penalty notices. These covered offences including the non-payment of the HGV Levy, mechanical offences and drivers hours. In the last year, a number of vehicles were directed out of the country and many were immobilised until the problems identified had been rectified. There are no plans to change the rules on entry for this issue.<\/p>"}
