HC Deb 10 March 1954 vol 524 cc2234-5
50. Mr. Spence

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation whether he will introduce a regulation to make it an offence for vehicles to draw across to the right-hand side of the highway and park facing towards oncoming traffic.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

This is already an offence at night, but I do not think it is necessary to impose a similar restriction in daylight.

Mr. Spence

May I ask the Minister whether he will ask the police to make an investigation into the cause of accidents to see to what extent drawing over to the right side of the road and facing oncoming traffic is the cause of many accidents today?

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

We are constantly looking at that, and I will take note of what my hon. Friend has said.
