By The National Assembly of Pakistan has enacted a ban on the use of High-Intensity Discharge (HID) lights, implementing a fine of Rs5,000 for violators. This legislative move aims to enhance road safety and reduce accidents attributed to the intense glare produced by HID lights. HID lights, known for their high luminosity, can cause significant discomfort and temporary blindness to oncoming drivers, leading to hazardous driving conditions. The decision to prohibit their use reflects the government’s commitment to addressing these safety concerns and promoting responsible driving practices.
Under the new regulation, law enforcement agencies are authorized to impose a Rs5,000 fine on individuals found using HID lights in their vehicles. This measure serves as a deterrent to prevent the installation and use of such lights, ensuring compliance with the updated traffic safety standards. Vehicle owners are advised to replace existing HID lights with standard, approved lighting systems to avoid penalties and contribute to safer road conditions.
The government has also initiated awareness campaigns to educate the public about the dangers associated with HID lights and the importance of adhering to traffic regulations. This initiative is part of a broader effort to improve road safety across the country, addressing various factors that contribute to traffic accidents and ensuring a safer environment for all road users.
