The brightness of headlights fitted on new cars could increase the risk of motorists having an accident, a new RAC report claims.
Around 15% of drivers admitted they’ve been involved in a ‘near miss’ after being dazzled by oncoming traffic, or when checking their rear-view mirrors.
The RAC says 65% of drivers of all ages are regularly dazzled by modern headlights – even when they are dipped.
Current headlights fitted in UK vehicles range from traditional halogen headlamps, to newer xenon, or high intensity discharge lights, and LED headlights.
While they have improved the vision of the driver using them, the RAC Opinion Panel survey of 2,061 motorists suggests this could be at the expense of other road users.
