Proposal for Supplement 4 to the 06 series of amendments to Regulation No. 48

Proposal to reduce the minimum speed for activation of E-class passing beams from 70 km/h to 60 km/h and to prescribe clear alternatives to either detect motorway conditions with sensors or only activate the E mode above a speed of 110km/h. Moreover, the proposal extends the provisions to all vehicles. In addition, the proposal introduces “interdependent lamps”, taking into account the function of direction indicators as hazard warning signals.
