§ Mr. Roseasked the Minister of Transport what action his Department is taking in relation to better driver education.
Mr. Bob Brown:The standard of driving instruction is being improved through the Register of Approved Instructors in which all professional instructors will be required to register by 1st August, 1970; authoritative advice for all drivers was published last November in the Ministry Manual " Driving "; advice on driver training for young people has been given to schools, etc.; films for television and cinema and poster publicity, aimed mainly at drivers, are included in the sustained road safety campaign; feature films on driving are made to the department's requirements or with its cooperation and contributions to radio and television programmes about safe driving are a considerable and important part of the Department's effort on this subject.
