I agree with the last speaker, send the European Commission their P45's. ASAP!
BTW, dipped beam in heavy traffic is virtually impossible to see in daylight, if its adjusted properly. There used to be daytime running lights, but I havent seen them in years.

I can't see this changing anything - one bike with software (and lights) changes for the world saves them lots of cash
