Requirements for the fitting fitment and use of driving lamps including Light Emitting Diode (LED)
Light Bars on Vehicles, excluding motor bikes and motor trikes.
• The lamps should, as far as is possible, be installed symmetrically in pairs to the front of the vehicle.
• If lamps are not fitted as pairs (e.g. one, three etc), they must be fitted to the front of the vehicle,
symmetrically about the centre.
• The lamp/s must be installed in a way that the light produced does not cause the driver of the vehicle
discomfort either directly or by reflection.
• The lamp/s must only come on when the main-beam (high beam) headlamps are used, and must
automatically turn off when the main-beam headlamps are turned off.
Sounds Good to me no more defects for odd numbers lights
very interesting u brought this up mate,
a good mate of mine is a motorbike cop from this area and i was talking to him three days ago about light bars and the traffic branch have been given a directive in the last month that light bars and spot lights MUST be in pairs to be legal, the only loophole is their happy for a 2in wide strip of black tape in the centre of the lightbar to divide it into two halves as if two lights which will keep it to the law regarding pairs.
FWIW
What state ? Surely bacon on the ground realize its utterly ridiculous and outdated legislation and use sensible discretion?
Depth perception on a driving light pair is ridiculous. The only thing perceptible is the sun burning your eyes if they're on!
