§ Mr. Murrayasked the Minister of Transport what steps are being taken to ensure that motor vehicles are fitted with direction indicators that are visible from all directions.
§ Mr. SwinglerNone. But direction indicators fitted to vehicles first registered since August, 1965, must comply with a comprehensive specification based on international recommendations which include minimum angles of visibility to meet the needs of vehicles to which they are fitted.
The Working Party on the lighting of vehicles will shortly consider proposed regulations to make the fitting of direction indicators compulsory on all vehicles with certain exemptions.
