One study targets glare from headlamps to reduce head on collisions and set regulations. Another success is a locomotive headlamp beacon at rail crossings, praised for brightness and peripheral visibility, reducing fatal car train accidents and potentially boosting Canadian safety exports.

Insurance Bill Back in Picture in Manitoba Legislature
The Manitoba legislature debated the public auto insurance plan with Conservative MLAs arguing the moment of truth has arrived for Churchill Independent Gordon Beard and former Liberal Des Jardins who backed the bill last year. They condition support on a fair compensation scheme for insurance agents affected by government intervention. Compensation offered totalling $85 per year in service was criticized as inadequate, and Desjardins questioned the fairness of the plan while noting driver savings may be limited for those under 25.
