Road Safety Bill [HL]

My Lords, the Minister can be satisfied on his last point, because I have already said that I will not press the amendment. I thought that in the Bill the alcolock was rather futuristic.  It will be interesting to see what happens when that comes into play. I expect that it could have some snags. Was the Minister prejudiced regarding the technology behind the lorry road user charging scheme that has died a death? The Minister also mentioned human rights. The same issues arise concerning lorry road user charging schemes and the wider road user charging. I hope that we will be talking about that a lot in the future. My amendment was not intended to track; the accident data recorder specifically covered that point. Subsection (4) of the amendment refers to,"““the five minutes before being subject to any deceleration of more than 0.5g””." That is a very heavy application of the brakes, about as much as a vehicle can achieve. I am not suggesting in my amendment that we record all vehicle activity; I am suggesting recording the five minutes before an incident occurs. I will look very carefully at what the Minister has said about what work is being done at a European level. In the mean time, I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn. [Amendments Nos. 67 to 70 not moved.]
