Sunbar ◊ 2015-09-17 12:23	I read about it recently but I don't know the actual regulations, but my understanding was that initially any 'essential-use' vehicle likely to be used at night-time outside of built-up areas, had to have the light-covers and white markings. A doctor's car would be in this classification anywhere in the UK I think. Many vehicles did not have the light-covers in wartime but probably were restricted to day-time use and not during the black-out. EDIT: Regulations 1940 - "dimming of the side, rear and stop lights of motor vehicles, whilst allowing the use of the masked head lamp on moving vehicles after the 'Alert' is sounded (air-raid siren etc.). (TO) Be dimmed so that, whilst the light is clearly visible at a distance of 30 yds. it is invisible 300 yds. away." -- Last edit: 2015-09-17 20:40:14
