Title: Glare From Headlamps and Other Front Mounted Lamps Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 108; Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment
Abstract: The current standard sets minimum and maximum headlamp intensities to ensure the driver of the vehicle sees as much of the roadway as possible, while minimizing glare for other drivers using the road. The agency has been receiving a significant number of public complaints about headlamp glare from other vehicles. Technological changes, fleet mix changes, and an increase in the average driver age, cause the agency to reexamine seeing distance and glare.
