"There are already Member States where the use of dipped headlights is compulsory: the Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, Italy, Hungary and Sweden. France introduced them as a recommendation during the winter of 2004/2005. We will be able to begin talks with the motor industry to get new vehicles fitted with devices that automatically switch dipped headlights on as soon as the engine is started. Then we will see how to introduce the use of dipped headlights during the day on all motor vehicles.
As you pointed out following Mrs Hedkvist’s question, a recent study has shown that using dipped headlights during the day will help to reduce the number of road accidents appreciably: by between 5 and 15%. There was also a problem with motorcycle drivers, but I think all these problems are being resolved.
That is what I can say with things as they are at present. I am asking Parliament to be a little patient so that we can really prepare this package of additional measures for improved safety on Europe’s roads."@en1
