This proposal from Japan is a modified version of GRSG/2011/31, which was submitted for the purpose of preventing road accidents due to the inability of drivers of vehicles with an extremely high eye point to view small vehicles (e.g. motorcycles) in front.
27. The expert from Japan introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2012/10 (superseding ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2011/31) improving the perception by the driver of other road users. The expert from the United Kingdom raised concerns on the proposed text of paragraph 5.1.4. with respect to A pillars. Following the discussion, GRSG agreed on the proposal as amended in GRSG-102-30.
28. GRSG adopted ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2012/10, as reproduced in Annex IX to the meeting report, and requested the secretariat to submit it to WP.29 and AC.1 for consideration at their November 2012 sessions, as a new draft 01 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 125.
