Written question asked by Earl of Dundee (Conservative), in the House of Lords. It was answered by Lord Bassam of Brighton (Labour) on Wednesday, 21 May 2008.


Roads: Safe Use

Question
asked Her Majesty's Government:What will be the content of the foundation course in safe road use to be piloted in Scotland, announced on May 7.
Answer

We are currently discussing the content with the Scottish Qualifications Authority and our other partners in the project. This is a qualification designed principally for those who have not yet reached driving age. It will therefore include topics such as the content of the Highway Code, being a safe and responsible passenger in a car or bus, a good attitude towards road use and the economics of owning a car.
