§ Mr. Gwilym Robertsasked the Ministee of Transport if she will take steps to ensure the fitting of vehicles with automatic second accident prevention devices.
§ Mr. SwinglerMy right hon. Friend has accepted a recommendation made by the National Road Safety Advisory Council that she should encourage the fitting to motor vehicles of a device whereby all the amber flashing direction indicator lamps on the vehicle can be made to flash simultaneously as a warning signal during enforced stops. She issued a Press notice about this on 21st March.
On the recommendation of the Council she has asked the Working Party, which is reviewing the vehicle lighting regulations, to consider proposals for making it compulsory for new motor vehicles, and subsequently for existing motor vehicles to be equipped for making this signal.
