EXTERIOR LIGHTING PROBLEM

Date Of Incident: 2003-06-17
Components: EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Summary: I FIND THAT THE TYPES OF HEADLIGHTS CURRENTLY IN USE ON MOST VEHICLES ARE FAR BRIGHTER THAN HEADLIGHTS THAT WERE IN USE IN THE 1970'S AND 80'S. WHO IS/WAS THE APPROVING GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORITY FOR THESE NEWER/BRIGHTER HEADLIGHTS AND; IN THAT THESE HEADLIGHTS TEND TO, IN EFFECT, BLIND MANY DRIVERS, WHY ARE THEY STILL BEING USED?? THIS, OF COURSE DOES NOT TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE COSTS INVOLVED IN RE-STRIPING OR RE-MARKING MANY OF OUR ROADS. THE OLDER HEADLIGHTS WORKED JUST FINE AND DID NOT RESULT IN THE BLINDING OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC UNLESS THE HIGH-BEAMS WERE ON. HOW MANY HEADLIGHT-RELATED ACCIDENTS MUST THERE BE BEFORE THESE 'NEWER, BETTER' HEADLIGHTS ARE FINALLY REMOVED FROM THE MARKET AND OUTLAWED? *NLM
