HB10 – This bill concerns the number of headlights allowed on front of a motorcycle.

The bill was introduced by request of a constituent of Delegate Cole and is identical to SB25 which was introduced by Senator Reeves by request. The bill would allow motorcyclists to burn five lights rather than four for general illumination on the front of the motorcycle. The purpose of this bill is to improve visibility of motorcycles from the front in order to help prevent left turns in front of motorcycles.

Neither HB10 nor SB25 have met any opposition and have therefore moved through their respective bodies on the uncontested calendar. That means that they were voted on in a block with many other bills which were also unopposed. Both bills are on the fast track to become law.

VCOM will be watching the potential conflict in law that these bills create. The bills allow motorcycles to “be equipped with and use not more than five approved lights in order to provide general illumination ahead of the motorcycle.” However, Section 46.2-1012 prohibits motorcycles from being equipped with more than two auxiliary lights. This may require a legislative fix in the future. VCOM will continue to monitor this.

You may follow the progress of its companion, SB25, and read its text at the following link: House Bill 25
