Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

• Bus and coach makers and operators in Vv est Germany are expecting new national regulations which will require public passenger vehicles travelling at 100 kph (62 mph) or more to have enclosed luggage racks in the saloon. The rules will, it is expected. make it an offence to have loose items which could be flung violently forward under braking.

At least two coachbuilders in West Germany have shown themselves ready to meet any such legislation The new third-gener ation Neoplan bus and coach designs from G. Auwarter, Stuttgart, has individual aircraft-style luggage trays which pull down for use. They stay down until returned, while those on Driigmoller's latest Europullman luxury coach shut automatically when released.

In both cases the trays are shallow, and would not take bulky parcels such as returning tourists often carry, containing presents which they would not wish to be stowed in the main lockers.
