HC Deb 22 June 1966 vol 730 c77W
79. Mr. Tinn

asked the Minister of Transport whether she will make it obligatory for transport operators using vehicles which are above conventional width or height or carry abnormal loads and are consequently likely to cause damage to bridges and other openings to display prominently on each vehicle or load the lateral and vertical clearance required, or otherwise ensure that a driver is aware more precisely of his responsibility and the limitations of his vehicle.

Mr. Swingler

My right hon. Friend agrees that drivers of vehicles that are of unusual height or width or are carrying abnormal loads should have these factors constantly in mind when they are on the road. She does not, however, think that regulations as suggested by my hon. Friend would be appropriate.
