Road Safety Bill [HL]

Perhaps I may say to the noble Baroness that I am mindful of the fact that the most northerly piece of motorway is in Perth, which means that someone who learns to drive in, say, Wick or Thurso, will be more than 200 miles away from a motorway. On the idea of having a pilot project, it would be a good idea if one of the project areas were in the far north, let alone the island groups, because their driving experience is going to be very different. Furthermore, the first time they will indulge in motorway driving may well be on rather long holiday journeys, which is not the best time necessarily to be learning to drive on a motorway.
