Three in four motorists 'blinded' by dazzling headlights Brighter headlights are causing problems for motorists "more than ever before", campaigners have said - but ministers have played down the road safety concerns associated with them.
However, AA president Edmund King said members are "feeling the strain of brighter headlights more than ever before, as well as brighter brake and traffic lights".
It comes after the RAC called for an independent study into the issue after its own survey showed more than four out of five (85%) drivers affected by headlight glare said the problem is getting worse.
Dazzling headlights contributed to 216 collisions in 2023, statistics showed, 11 each in Kent and Surrey - the worst affected council areas.
Three-quarters of AA members have told the organisation that LED lights on vehicles are among the factors causing them to be "blinded" while driving.
