HC Deb 01 December 1969 vol 792 c224W
Mr. Pardoe

asked the Minister of Transport for how many miles of the A30 between the 30 miles per hour limit west of Exeter and the 30 miles per hour limit east of Launceston it is safe for a driver of a motor car going west to overtake another vehicle travelling at 45 miles per hour when there is no oncoming vehicle in sight.

Mr. Bob Brown

Judgment of the possibilities of overtaking safely must always rest with the individual driver, who will need to take into account other factors besides those mentioned in the Question.
