§ Mr. Gregoryasked the Secretary of State for Transport what information he has as to which states require some visual display on a motor vehicle to show that a driving test has only recently been passed; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mrs. ChalkerNewly qualified drivers are required to display a distinguishing symbol on their vehicles for a certain period after the test in Northern Ireland, parts of Australia, France, Japan, Portugal and Spain. It is not practical to relate a probationary period to actual driving experience, and I have no evidence that this measure has helped road safety.
