Almost all drivers want to see something done, with 87% supportive of the Government’s plan to conduct more research into the issue and the same proportion wanting changes to headlight regulations to improve the situation.

Brake lights are also a problem, with four-in-10 drivers (38%) saying they get dazzled by the brake lights of vehicles in front of them. In addition, a quarter of drivers with adaptive driving beam systems think they increase the risk of dazzle to other road users.

Mean­while, the UK Health Secur­ity Agency says that ‘repeated expos­ure to arti­fi­cial light at night may be det­ri­mental to health’.

Health warn­ings about blue LED lights were first issued ten years ago. The US Med­ical Asso­ci­ation says they can inhibit the body’s abil­ity to pro­duce melatonin – a sleep reg­u­lator and power­ful anti­dote to pro­state and breast can­cers that are depend­ent on hor­mones.

@BBCNews Join our campaign for alternatives to LED lights. Most of our charity members are unable to work because they have adverse reactions to LED lights. They were fine under incandescent and halogen lights. Government policy has pushed them out of work. https://t.co/Dbc5O4z15u
