§ 73. Mr. Woodburnasked the Minister of Transport to what extent the latest records show the relative importance, as contributory causes to accidents, of drink, speed, and intolerance and impatience of drivers; and whether he will seek powers to enable motorists who are seen to be driving dangerously to be given a formal and registered warning.
§ Mr. GalbraithThe accident records cannot show the relative importance of the many factors which contribute to accidents.
The answer to the second part of the Question is "No". Written as well as oral warnings are already issued to motorists by the police in cases where they do not prosecute. We do not think any other system would be acceptable.
