UK Government to Investigate Headlight Glare Amid Growing Concerns

Following a petition and sustained campaigning, the Department for Transport announces a study into the causes and potential solutions for headlight glare.

• The UK Government will commission independent research to understand the causes of headlight glare, which has been a significant issue for drivers.
• Over 10,000 people signed a parliamentary petition calling for a review of vehicle headlights, leading to the government's decision to investigate.
• The RAC, which has campaigned on the issue, describes the move as a 'turning point' and hopes it will lead to effective solutions.
• Survey results indicate that over 85% of drivers believe headlight glare is worsening, with many concerned about the potential for accidents.
• New UN regulations requiring automatic headlight leveling in new cars will be implemented in September 2027, aiming to reduce glare.
