Closed petition Make it compulsory for motorbikes to have different coloured headlamps to cars

Closed on

Driving at night, in heavy traffic or in wet weather it is often difficult to differentiate a motorbike weaving down between lanes from other cars. If motorbikes had a different coloured headlamp (yellow maybe), drivers, incl. other riders, looking in rear/side view mirrors would better spot them.

I think this would significantly improve road safety by reducing the number of car accidents with motorbikes when they are not seen by drivers joining / changing lanes in heavy traffic. The headlight colour would obviously need to be one that would afford the bike rider equal visibility.
