Petition updateBan Blinding Headlights and Save Lives!Ban Blinding Headlights! Royal Automobile Club

Dear Supporters,

In the United Kingdom, the Telegraph published a story about dazzling headlights, and for the first time, an auto industry group acknowledged that the primary problem with LED headlights is unregulated intensity.  The Royal Automobile Club stated, "Badly angled headlights might be something to do with it, but drivers tell us they also believe it’s the increasing number of cars on the roads fitted with piercingly bright LED headlights that’s to blame.”  The reporter wrote, "there are no regulations around the intensity of these light".  https://archive.vn/6ydDq

Our task now is to convince the American Automobile Club, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, the government and others that this metric, luminance, must be regulated, along with requiring inverse square law dispersion, limiting blue wavelength light and square wave flicker.

Since NHTSA and the FDA continue to ignore the problem of unregulated LED light intensity, I have created two letters that you can deliver to your member of Congress to request an unbiased investigation by the General Accountability office.  If you wish to support our efforts with this cause, please email me the name of your Congressperson, and I will email the two letters for you to deliver.

Sincerely,

Mark Baker
