Changes in road illumination by low beam headlights of cars with new improved types of halogen
bulbs of increased luminous emission are discussed. Approximate distances of obstacle discernability
on dry and snow-covered roads are determined and compared with theoretical findings. The luminous
properties of modern designs of cornering lights are examined.
