§ 94. Mr. Hector Hughesasked the Minister of Transport if he is aware that pedestrians using pedestrian crossings have no indication that approaching motor cars will respect their rights by stopping and that many pedestrians have been injured as a result; and if he will take steps to provide that motor car footbrakes which automatically light the rear stop light shall simultaneously also automatically light a front Cross Now light as a guide to the pedestrian of the motorist's intention to stop.
§ Mr. Tom FraserI am afraid that my hon. and learned Friend's suggestion would not make for the greater safety of pedestrians. A driver's signals should indicate only his own intentions. Applying the brakes does not necessarily mean that a vehicle is about to stop.
