Proceeding contribution from Earl of Dundee (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 4 July 2005. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Road Safety Bill [HL].
Road Safety Bill [HL]
I support the amendment tabled by my noble friend Lord Hanningfield. As he said, research indicates that retro-reflective markings on HGVs can prevent a great many crashes and nasty accidents. I know that the UNECE is in favour of the measure. It could be applied to all heavy goods vehicles and, indeed, as the noble Viscount, Lord Simon, advocated, it could even be applied to all vehicles. Research suggests that it would in particular be a good idea to apply it to heavy goods vehicles over 7.5 tonnes.
