Motorcyclists may already be more visible on the machines from next season thanks to legal TFL. The message reads as follows: Quotation: The regulations were paradoxical: Since October 2009 the installation of daytime running lights on motorcycles is permitted, but their operation was prohibited according to the Institute for Bicycle Safety (IfZ). Thus, the legislator was required to adapt the road traffic regulations in such a way that motorcycles with daytime running lights instead of with Ablendl The new regulation could enter into force in April 2013. (vm/mid) Source: If someone is wondering why it was legal to install the TFL, but then not to use it: German law has bitten itself here with the ECE standards. Therefore, the tested TFL is legal, but the use is not. It would be comparable with too many additional headlights on a vehicle: the headlights themselves are tested and legal, but they are dry. If the TFL is introduced in the same way as on the car, nothing lights up at the rear of the motorcycle. Especially at dusk, the taillight is often a safety feature of two-wheelers that cannot be underestimated… Greetings, Martin
