  "account": "The Indian government is set to tighten regulations on vehicle lighting to enhance road safety and reduce glare for motorists. Key changes include restricting automatic headlamps on two-wheelers to low-beam mode, mandating reflective tapes for buses and heavy vehicles, and capping the intensity and colour temperature of high-beam headlamps. These measures aim to curb glare, improve visibility, and ensure safer night-time and adverse weather driving conditions.",
