§ Major GLYNasked the Minister of Transport whether his attention has been drawn to the increasing number of heavy motor lorries with a trailer attached that use the roads and keep on the crown of the road, especially in wet weather, the drivers being unprovided with a looking-glass fixed in a proper position to enable the driver to see what overtaking traffic there may be behind him; and whether, in view of the congestion that this frequently causes, he can frame Regulations to compel firms owning such lorries to equip them with mirrors?
§ Colonel ASHLEYI realise the difficulties that sometimes arise owing to the fact that drivers of heavy motor vehicles are not aware of overtaking traffic, and I am giving consideration to the question of the use of mirrors in connection with the general legislation which I hope to introduce with regard to motor vehicles so soon as Parliamentary time is available.
