Mr. Moate
asked the Secretary of State for Transport what tests have been conducted recently by the Transport and Road Research Laboratory on the use of vehicle speed limiters for lorries and buses; and with what results.
Mrs. Chalker
The Transport and Road Research Laboratory has carried out limited tests on one speed-limiting device. This performed satisfactorily in controlling speeds and safely reverted the vehicle to normal accelerator control when electrical failure was deliberately induced.
