Daytime headlight rules face slow Manitoba action
Claire Booker says provincial legislation on daylight headlight use may wait for a federal ruling. Ottawa already requires automatic headlights in new cars from 1988, while older models could be covered by future provincial rules. Transport Canada cites studies from Sweden Finland and Canada supporting daytime lights with reduced collisions. Meanwhile, questions arise about cost to consumers and prioritizing drunk driving curb efforts as Roblin RCMP report continued impaired driving charges. The Manitoba Traffic Safety Committee would study impacts before advising Minister Plohman Bucklaschuk and Attorney General Penner.
