In answer to a pariiimeittary question last week, roads and traffic minister Peter Bottomley said: "Agreement was reached last week in the European Community for an amendment to the braking directive enabling member states to require anti-lock brakes on the following categories of heavy vehicle: towing vehicles over 16 tonnes; trailers over 10 tonnes; coaches over 12 tonnes.
"The amended directive will enable member states to impose the requirements from 1 October 1989 to new type approvals and to all new vehicles registered from 1 October 1991. We shall be consulting in the new year on draft regulations to apply the requirements in this country."
