§ Mr. David HowellMy Department has no research currently in hand on colour vision problems.
Reported work from many sources is kept under review, and there is no evidence that further research would contribute to the reduction of road accidents. Exhaustive studies have failed to reveal any association between accident rates and drivers' colour perception.
