Abstract
A survey of headlamp intensities has been made in Britain and four European countries. Meeting beam intensities causing glare and giving near-side illumination were recorded. Averaged intensities in the glare direction in Britain were nearly double those on the Continent, with intensities in France being higher than the continental average and more diverse. Comparison with an earlier survey suggests little change in the glare situation in the United Kingdom in the past eight years. British values were closer than the continental to the relevant beam specification.
