Road Safety Bill [HL]

I was not the least bit surprised by the Minister’s confidence when he rose to the Dispatch Box to respond to my amendment. I am grateful for the support of the noble Lord, Lord Berkeley. The noble Lord, Lord Snape, was talked about lorry drivers. I say to noble Lords, what if you were a lorry driver and you had to work out whether fourteen feet four inches was higher or lower than 4.4 metres? It seems peculiar that we happily consider opting for a single currency but are not prepared to use the metric system on our roads. However, I am grateful for the contributions from noble Lords, and beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.
