Discussion of DRL automatic switching proposal for Regulation No. 53
During April 2016, Japan presented a study to GRE-75 on the disturbance due to the use of motorcycle daytime running lamps (DRL) at night (see GRE-75-09). A proposal (GRE/2016/35 supported by GRE-76-03) for automatic switching between DRL and headlamps was then presented during October 2016 at GRE-76. Italy, among others, raised a reservation. This document details Italy’s concerns with the proposal by Japan.
