Cars: Equipment
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if she will make it her policy to bring forward legislative proposals to ensure that all cars should include an emergency glass hammer.
Answered by Lilian Greenwood
The carriage by motorists of emergency equipment such as first aid kits, warning triangles, high visibility jackets and escape tools is not generally prescribed in law. The Highway Code recommends the carriage of many items of emergency equipment and my officials are currently working on proposals to clarify the Highway Code recommendations including adding the carriage of an appropriate escape tool.
