§ Mr. Ron Lewisasked the Minister of of Transport if, as a result of experiments already carried out by certain local authorities, he will organise a Dipped Headlights Campaign throughout the country as an experimental project, in odder to reduce accidents on the roads.
§ Mr. Tom FraserI would refer my hon. Friend to my Answer of 26th April to my hon. Friend the Member for Darlington (Mr. Ted Fletcher).
I am considering what can be done before next winter to see that headlights are always used on unlit roads, and dipped headlights used in built-up areas unless the street lighting is good. These are the cardinal points about headlights in the Highway Code. If every driver will 36W himself decide now to follow the Code, and not to flash his headlights at oncoming traffic, he will be helping to save lives straight away.
