Ceist:318 Mr. Howlin asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if his attention has been drawn to the increased use of fog lights on mechanically propelled vehicles at times of normal visibility; his views on the danger this presents as a result of the risk of dazzling oncoming motorists; the number of prosecutions initiated by members of An Garda Síochána in 2000 in respect of the improper use of such lights; if he will ask the Garda to enforce the regulations relating to the use of such lights during the forthcoming Christmas 2000 road safety campaign; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
