Jan. 01, 1972 - Towards Safer Road Vehicles Meeting And Display: Mr John Perton, Minister for Transport Industries, today opened a one-day meeting and display on the theme Towards Safer Road Vehicles at the Transport and Road Research Laboratory of the Department of the Environment at Crownthrone, Berkshire. The event, organised by the TRRL in Cooperation with the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders, aimed to present an up-to-date account of British Works to improve the safety of road vehicles, including accident avoidance, the protection of vehicle occupants and pedestrians, and to assist those now engaged in such work, and others who may take part later, in the preparation and execution of their mirror.
