Road Safety Bill [HL]

I am grateful for my noble friend’s response. The concept of the innocent motorist rather depends on how fast the driver was travelling and whether he was taking due care of the other people on the road. It is interesting that the approach seems to work perfectly well on the Continent. My noble friend did not respond to that. There is no great outcry on the Continent because motorists are proved guilty before they can even protest their innocence. I shall reflect on what my noble friend says. I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.
