The importance of windscreen wear for driver visibility in vehicle lighting has been studied. Windscreen wear is related to the stray-light level of the windscreen. Light measurements of stray-light levels in windscreens were carried out by a special instrument and by a laboratory method. Detection distances in vehicle lighting to targets on the road were studied in a series of full-scale experiments. In these experiments opposing situations between two vehicles on the road were simulated. The windscreens were exchanged between trials.
