To compensate this perception difficulty by other road users, for years the "Convention on Road Traffic done at Vienna in November 1968" recommends the signatory countries to implement the obligation for motorcyclists to drive with the headlamp on during daytime.
21 out of the 25 European Member States have introduced legislation according to this recommendation.

Convinced of the importance of PTW conspicuity and to avoid users becoming more vulnerable when they forget to switch their headlights on, the manufacturers members of ACEM committed themselves to equip all their models including mopeds with Automatic Headlamp-On (AHO) since 2003.
