THE QUESTION of whether to make the use of dipped headlights compulsory is being reviewed in the light of current conditions, said Government spokesman Lord Melchett last week.
Answering questions in thE Lords, he said there were arguments both for and against. The use of headlamps on moving vehicles at night in all conditions had long been required in most European countries, North and South America and elsewhere. There was no evidence that it did any harm, and the general trend seemed to be in that direction.
