| Our organisation has been formed to fight the growing road safety issue of blinding lights which affect a driver's ability to perceive hazards. The Authorities are allowing this "Lightmare" to escalate, they are putting the most vulnerable and less conspicuous road users at risk - pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists. |
 HID-Xenon headlight + High brightness LED Daytime Running Lights |
Our aim is to persuade the UK Government to limit the eye damaging intensity of light that a driver encounters:-
# High Intensity Discharge Xenon headlights (HID-Xenon) - they can cause temporary blindness
# Misuse of brake and fog lights - contravention of the highway code
# Over-bright Daytime Running Lights (DRL) - the EU have set maximum brightness to 1,200cd
to compete with the sun - the Japanese proposed a more acceptable 200cd = bright sidelights

to compete with the sun - the Japanese proposed a more acceptable 200cd = bright sidelights
## Since blinding lights have become mandatory, UK accidents have increased particularly to cyclists and pedestrians.
## Please see our letter to Stephen Hammond UK Transport Minister demanding urgent action to prevent this carnage due to blinding lights based upon flawed EU studies
Manufacturers and Government appear not care about the dangers of blinding lights.
In this website we explain why a driver's vision is affected by blinding lights.
We document the growing body of Expert ophthalmological opinion, Legal opinion and Media coverage, which will permit those responsible to be brought to justice for the consequential extra deaths and injuries caused by their sanction to deliberately blind drivers.
