Asked by Ian Cameron
You've mentioned the strict lighting design rules all cars must meet. I couldn't figure out why I had trouble reversing at night until I found, soon after buying a 2009 VW Jetta TDI, that it had on the left side only one useless reversing light. On complaining to the dealer, I was told it complied with Australian Design Rules. I love the car but for night driving we to use my wife's Subaru XV. I have noticed more recent models have reversing lights on both sides.
