Road Safety Bill [HL]

There may be occasions when this is a good idea. One has to think of the relationship between the traffic that is not in the bus lane and the buses. The noble Earl, Lord Mar and Kellie, pointed out what happens when the buses stop. Is it quicker or easier for motorcycles to overtake on the inside or outside of the cars? Bicycles are allowed in most bus lanes as well. One has to think of the effect that the motorcycles will have on bicycles. This is a difficult problem and I urge my noble friend, if he is not going to reject the amendment completely, to move cautiously and carry out a few trials and study the results carefully before he allows such change.
