The move by the Government follows a campaign by the RAC and petition signed by more than 11,900 people who are concerned about the dangers headlight glare is causing for road users.

The Government has committed to launching an investigation into why drivers are being dazzled by other motorists’ headlights – and how to crackdown on the dangerous issue.

Unless you’re a devout petrolhead, the car world can be one filled with confusing terminology.
From acronyms like VED (Vehicle Excise Duty, which is essentially car tax) to idioms such as referring to unreliable motors as ‘lemons’, there’s enough jargon to put your head into a spin.
