HC Deb 08 May 1957 vol 569 c69W
67. Mr. Owen

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation if he will examine the scheme of the road transport operators and others who award tokens acknowledging good work as a contribution to accident prevention; and whether he will consider a national scheme under his aegis which will give transport operatives and motorists with good driving records public commendation as a contribution to accident prevention.

Mr. Watkinson:

I fully recognise the value to road safety of the national safe driving award schemes for transport drivers. It would not be practicable to bring private motorists within the scope of the existing schemes, but I warmly support the many national and local organisations which aim to encourage high standards of driving by private motorists.
