Proceeding contribution from Lord Bradshaw (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 7 November 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Road Safety [HL].
Road Safety [HL]
My Lords, I, too, am disappointed, as bureaucracy seems to have got in the way of common sense. I am sure that some accidents would be avoided if these proposals were implemented. The results are usually very bad for the person who hits a heavy lorry, rather than the other way round. The Government have made their case—but I cannot help reflecting that if we were discussing railway safety much quicker action would be forthcoming even if only a few lives were likely to be saved.
