Ceist:195 Mr. Naughten asked the Minister for Transport when he intends to publish a revised rules of the road booklet; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [6909/03]
Written Answers - Rules of the Road.
The current text of the rules of the road dates from 1995. I am conscious of the fact that the booklet needs to be revised to reflect changes made in road traffic laws over the past seven years. A limited review was instigated in 1999. However, as this was not completed in advance of the passage of the Road Traffic Act 2002, a more comprehensive review is now required.
The review will take account of all the measures being progressed under that Act and will also include the results of a separate review of speed limits that is currently under way.
It is my intention that the proposed review will include a broadly based consultative process and that a new booklet will be published as soon as possible after that process is completed.
