Proceeding contribution from Earl of Erroll (Crossbench) 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]

It is impossible for a lorry travelling at 40 miles per hour to follow a car travelling at 60 miles per hour. That lorry could not run into the back of the car because a vehicle travelling at 40 miles per hour cannot follow one travelling at 60 miles per hour—the one travelling at 60 miles per hour would have disappeared into the distance.
