THE statement by Lord Lindgren. Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Transport, that compulsory provision of direction indicators on new vehicles would come into effect on September I (as reported in this journal last week) has now been corrected by the Ministry; the statement was based on incorrect information.
On and after September 1 this year, direction indicators fitted to new vehicles must comply with the new standards set out in Regulation 28 and part HI of Schedule 2 of the consolidated Construction and Use Regulations. Direction indicators will not be made a compulsory fitting on vehicles, says the Ministry, until there has been time to assess the effectiveness of the new standards.
