§ Mr. Geoffrey Lloydasked the Minister of Transport if he will undertake studies into improved hazard warning devices for motor vehicles, whereby in case of emergencies winking lights are simultaneously switched on, similar to the device in use in some Continental countries.
§ Mr. MarshThis type of device enables all the direction indicators to be flashed simultaneously as an emergency warning signal if the vehicle breaks down, or is forced to stop in the road. Some motorists have fitted it in this country, and it is a standard fitting on some new British cars.
I am now studying its road safety value and cost in comparison with the other main type of hazard warning device, the advance warning triangle.
