Petition Regulate over-bright cycle lights.

Bike lights are now as bright as car headlamps and are a danger to other road users. The British Standard for them needs to be updated to make sure that they don't dazzle car drivers, pedestrians, and other cyclists.

More details

As UK Cycling say:
"When it comes to bike lamps, the British Standard is out of date to the point of irrelevance. Your chance of finding a genuinely BS6102/3 headlamp in a specialist bike shop is close to zero and most of those on the market are simply designed to deliver as much bang as possible for the cyclist’s buck. And that’s no bad thing - until you meet one coming the other way!"
