§ Mr. HARRISasked the Minister of Transport whether his attention has been drawn to the fact that the Motor Vehicles (Driving Licences) Regulations, 1930, do not define what constitutes a satisfactory device or devices for signalling; and, in view of the absence of such definition and the difficulty of other users of the road recognising signals given by such devices, is it his intention to impose the fitting of an identification plate on vehicles driven by disabled, or partially disabled, drivers to draw the attention of following traffic to the fact that signals given by such vehicles will be by means of direction indicators and not by hand?
§ Mr. HERBERT MORRISONI have received no representations on the reference to signalling devices contained in the Driving Licences Regulations. I am not aware of any reason why the driver of a motor vehicle should not use suitable direction indicators if he wishes to do so and, in the circumstances, it seems to me to be unnecessary to require drivers who are unable to give hand signals to carry any special plate on their vehicles.
