A legal loophole has stopped the authorities from taking action against cars having blue-coloured headlights, which are becoming increasingly popular.

Transport Minister Austin Gatt said in Parliament that according to the English language version of the Motor Transport Regulations, headlights should produce white or yellow light. Approval by Transport Malta is needed for any other colour.

However the Maltese language version of the regulations omits that part which lays down that Transport Malta approval is required if the light is not white or yellow.

Action is being taken for the situation to be rectified.
