§ 51. Mr. R. Bellasked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation whether he will, by regulation, require heavy vehicles to have traffic indicators of a kind clearly visible from directly behind the vehicle.
§ Mr. Boyd-CarpenterI am awaiting a further report by the Road Research Laboratory on direction indicators. When I am considering it, I will bear in mind my hon. Friend's suggestion.
§ Mr. BellWill my right hon. Friend bear in mind that signals are frequently given from the cabs of these heavy vehicles and they cannot be seen by traffic behind owing to the size of the rear of the vehicle, and this frequently constitutes a grave danger on the roads?
§ Mr. Boyd-CarpenterThat is a very serious part of the problem.
