Premium bike companies like BMW, Bugatti, Suzuki, Harley Davidson come with LED lamps. Bimal Kundu, owner of a shop selling car and bike accessories said there is a tendency among a section of car and bike owners to install LED lamps, and thick tyres with alloy wheels, replacing the original headlights and tyres.
Even auto rickshaws and toto drivers and even bicycle riders are using LED lamps. A former deputy commissioner of traffic, Kolkata Police said the LED lamps pose a major problem to drivers coming from the opposite direction. 鈥淎s most of the drivers do not know the use of headlights, they have a tendency to use the high beam of the headlight which causes major problems. He said a comprehensive scheme on the use of LED lamps is welcomed.鈥�
Chakraborty said he had received complaints from people regarding rampant misuse of LED lamps. He said the installation of LED lamps in bikes, replacing the original lights will be removed. They will be uninstalled from cars where they have been put later.
