§ Mr. Speedasked the Secretary of State for Transport what advice he is giving to motorcyclists on the use of headlights in daytime; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Peter BottomleyOur advice to riders is that wearing fluorescent clothing and-on larger machines-using dipped headlamps will make them more readily visible to other road users in daylight. This advice is included in the proposed revision of the Highway Code which has been laid before Parliament. Consultation indicated general support for advice on these lines and in particular the need to make clear that the use of dipped headlamps applies to larger machines only.
