Allow motorcycles to have auxiliary flashing lights

Please amend the Road Vehicles Lighting Regulations 1989 (Section 13, Para 2), to allow Motorcycles to have, in addition to their steady state headlamps, 'auxiliary flashing lights' to make it easier for other road users to better see approaching motorcycles, the same as for pedal cycles currently.

Some research has found that flashing lights make it easier to detect other road users, such as cyclists.

We believe this change could help reduce the number of vehicle and motorcycle incidents where vehicle drivers pull out in front of approaching motorcycles because they did not see the approaching motorcycle.
