JPJ - Please Put An End to The Xenon Headlights
Finally!!! Thank god JPJ is finally making a concentrated effort in regards to the abuse of windscreen tints and most especially xenon headlights (i.e. HID Lamps) by Malaysian drivers. More and more cars on the road nowadays have xenon headlights and these headlight are a pain in the ass for the other drivers.
Just imagine being rendered temporarily "nightblind " by a an approaching car’s xenon headlights and you will get the gist of my dislike of these type of headlamps. Time and time again this has happened and I am sick and tired of it. Similarly these xenon touting cars are also generally the ones that have ’super-tinted ‘ windscreens - which ironically protects them against the glare of other xenon headlights.
There are some mention of downturned HID Lamps that do not flash oncoming drivers, but as far as my experience goes these are either rare in my driving routes or plain non-existent! And since some drivers who get the xenon headlights are either ignorant of the fact or just plain insensitive - I say regardless of the reasons, they are at best a distraction or a at worst a menace to the other drivers who on the streets’ driving.
So I say kudos to JPJ for taking the effort to put a stop into these xenon headlight cars. My suggestions to you is to take a no holds bared approach. Saman each and every one of these drivers and as long as they don’t change keep on saman-ing them. I don’t care how much the so-called regular joe has to pay the saman as long as they get it into their heads that xenon lights are a menace to the other drivers on the road.
Also let this not be a short-term only approach. JPJ must keep up the pressure of these drivers and keep it up for the foreseeable future. Just conducting a month or two of operations will not change anything.
July deadline for windscreen tints, xenon headlights
KUALA KRAI: Vehicle owners flouting Road Transport Department (JPJ) regulations on windscreen tinting and xenon headlights be warned – you have until July to comply with the rules. JPJ enforcement division director Salim Parlan said the department continued to encounter vehicles with heavily tinted windscreens and flashy xenon headlights, particularly the imported luxury vehicles.“I hope they will adhere to the specifications set by JPJ on tinting windscreens and xenon headlights,” he said.
