Pacheco<br />Governor Phone (614) 445-8627 Director<br />FAX (614) 445-3225<br />BULLETIN NO. 91-92<br />------------------<br />DATE: January 7, 1992<br />TO: All Ohio Insurance Agents<br />FROM: Ohio Department of Insurance<br />SUBJECT: Automobile Dimmer Switches<br />Pursuant to the Ohio Department of Motor Vehicles Act No. 97-12, all motor<br />vehicles sold in the State of Ohio after February 15, 1992, will be required<br />to have the headlight dimmer switch mounted to the floorboard. The dimmer<br />switch must be mounted in a position accessible to operation by pressing<br />the switch by the left foot. The switch must be far enough removed from<br />the left foot pedals to avoid inadvertent operation or pedal confusion.<br />Included in the above act and beginning June 1, 1992, all other vehicles<br />with steering column mounted dimmer switches must be retrofitted with a<br />floorboard mounted dimmer switch of the type described above. The steering<br />column mounted dimmer switch must be disabled or removed from the vehicle.<br />Vehicles which have not made this change will fail the forthcoming Ohio<br />Safety Inspection program which will begin on this date.<br />It is recognized that this will cause some hardship for the driving public.<br />However, this change is being made in the interest of public safety. Ohio<br />DMV Act 92-13 will revert all Ohio motor vehicles to the prevalent dimmer<br />system in use prior to the influx of foreign market vehicles. A recent<br />study entitled the "Inflation Sequence in Ohio Night-time Highway Traffic<br />Accidents" was conducted jointly by the Ohio Department of Motor Vehicles<br />and the Ohio Department of Motor Vehicle Research. It has shown that<br />96% of all Ohio nighttime highway accidents are caused by a blonde getting<br />her foot caught in the steering wheel........
