The government is investigating concerns regarding the brightness of modern car headlights, particularly LED lights, which have reportedly left some drivers blinded on the road. In 2023, dazzling headlights were linked to 216 traffic accidents, with Kent and Surrey among the hardest-hit regions. While this marks a slight increase from the previous year, it is an improvement compared to figures from several years ago. The AA has noted that many of its members experience discomfort from bright headlights, especially those on higher vehicles like SUVs. Transport Minister Lilian Greenwood has been prompted to evaluate the safety of these lights, though preliminary data suggests no significant negative trend from technological advancements in lighting. Upcoming independent research is expected to shed more light on the issue. Meanwhile, local MPs are advocating for measures to reduce glare and enhance road safety, as public frustration over headlight brightness continues to grow.
