Subject: EU drops call for daytime lights for all vehicles

Author: Bob

[ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 07:45:50 11/30/07 Fri The European Commission (EC) has decided not to call for the use of daytime dipped-beam headlights in Europe. This means that the point of view of motorcyclists and other vulnerable road users (VRU) has finally been taken into account. Although the Commission still supports the view that daytime dipped-beam headlights could increase the safety of car drivers, it recognized too little information is available about the impact on other road users. Aline Delhaye, FEMA’s General Secretary, said “By declaring that measures would not be implemented for the benefit of some road users at the expense of others, the European Commission has not only taken the concerns of motorcyclists into account, but has also sent out a positive message for the European road safety debate.” [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
