Road Safety Bill [HL]

moved Amendment No. 118:"Page 35, line 45, at end insert—" ““(   )   In section 89 of the Road Traffic Act 1988, after subsection (3) there is inserted— ““(3A)   Regulations under subsection (3) above shall include a requirement that before a full licence is granted the driver must have received training in, taken and passed a Hazard Perception Test, which shall measure the driver’s proficiency at identifying and avoiding hazards.”””” The noble Baroness said: I need not delay the Committee with this amendment, as I tabled it a considerable time ago but subsequently had a conversation in the Library with a Peer whose son had just passed his driving test. He told me that his son had had to complete such training, as it is already included in the test. If that is the case, there is no point in this amendment. I beg to move.
