Road Accident Reduction

Road safety organisations and Government departments like Vosa the DfT Public Carriage Office and Police Have all sadly missed the trick.

Brighter HID lights and LED seem to be their answer. “Oh my God” let us “Dazzle” and “Blind” the other drivers into submission like our Emergency vehicles.

Medical experts like Professor Peter Heilig at the University of Vienna Austria who has written much on being dazzled and blinded by Daytime Running Lights. Doctor Leuenburger of the Asian Eye Institute in the Philippines feels banning xenon’s altogether would be the answer to stop the Malevolence that emanates from these dazzling blinding lights. Who trained at the Massachusetts Eye Infirmary where Professor Mario Motta has a wealth of information on wickipedia and also wrote for the Massachusetts Medical Society?

Well thought of motoring correspondents like Honest John who is currently a regular in the Daily Telegraph has had forums talking about the xenon blinding problems and has mentioned me a number of times. Rory Lumsdon wrote a scathing attack on Audi lights in Autotocar.

USA Today another huge daily covered the dangers of Xenon’s.

I have had articles in Advanced driver and Instructor Magazines outlining the dangers of brighter is generally more dangerous to others even though possibly a benefit to the driver.

The benefit to the driver only comes into being if there is no other traffic on the road. How often is that I ask? The answer is rarely.

Governments and Manufacturers need to take note that I will not rest until the blinding dazzling problem is addressed properly and changes are made for a fairer system to suit the majority of drivers.

7 out of 10 drivers that are on the roads at night have problems with these bright lights.

Many drivers like Travelling Salesman find DRL’s a problem at dusk.

If you have been dazzled or blinded please get in touch as only direct action in numbers will make that difference.
