Road Safety Bill [HL]

I may have to write to the noble Earl. It is obvious enough that you have no defence to any police officer in saying, ““I know that my car’s an old wreck, but I’m just taking it for a test to make sure of what kind of wreck it is so that I can rectify it””. If I am driving the car to a test station, if it is not roadworthy and if I am stopped, I am vulnerable, and the same would apply for a goods vehicle.
