§ Mr. Langasked the Minister of Transport whether he has considered introducing legislation to make it an offence for goods vehicles above a certain gross vehicle weight to travel in closely bunched convoys; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Kenneth ClarkeMy right hon. Friend does not consider it appropriate to try to regulate such a practice by specific legislation. Where it constitutes driving in a dangerous or inconsiderate 481W manner, there are already general powers available under the Road Traffic Act 1972.
