HC Deb 19 March 1991 vol 188 cc54-5W
Mr. Hinchliffe

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what steps he is taking to improve lane discipline in motorway driving.

Mr. Chope

My Department continues to attach high importance to improving standards of motorway driving. As part of the "Safety on the Move" campaign we shall be mounting a fresh publicity initiative later this year about safe motorway driving practice, including lane discipline. This will complement the major police national motorway campaign to be launched in July, aimed at improving motorway driving standards. We have also commissioned research to investigate driver behaviour on motorways to help explore the further scope for improving safety and traffic flows on those roads.
