§ Mr. GROVESasked the Minister of Transport whether his attention has been called to the number of motor accidents; whether he is aware that last year they reached nearly 56,000, of which 2,500 were fatal and of the former it was estimated that 6,600 were incidental to night riding; and whether, therefore, he will consider the advisability of imposing restrictions on the use of high-powered headlights or make it an obligation upon all motorists to use headlights which do not glare and dazzle oncoming drivers, but impinge on to the roadway?
§ Lieut.-Colonel MOORE-BRABAZONMy right hon. Friend is unable to check the estimate given by the hon. Member of the number of accidents incidental to night driving. As my right hon. Friend has stated on previous occasions, he is considering the question of asking for additional powers to deal with dazzling headlights in the Road Vehicles Bill which he hopes to introduce.
