answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/06/2015 answer text <p>A study by Transport Research Laboratory for the Department in 2011 found no evidence that quiet vehicles, e.g. electric and hybrid-electric vehicles, represent a greater danger to other road users, including pedestrians, than conventional vehicles. Nonetheless, a new EU regulation dealing with noise from road vehicles was adopted in 2014 and this will require additional sound devices to be fitted to new types of electric and hybrid-electric vehicles launched from 2019.</p> answering member constituency Harrogate and Knaresborough answering member printed Andrew Jones question first answered 16/06/2015 13:32:48 answering member 3996 label Biography information for Andrew Jones

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/06/2015 answer text <p>The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) has engaged with the vehicle rental industry about the abolition of the driving licence counterpart for some time. A comprehensive range of publicity materials was developed to help companies and customers to prepare for the change. This material was also provided to Lease Europe, the European equivalent of the British Vehicle and Rental Leasing Association. The publicity material can be seen at <a href="http://www.dvla.dft.gov.uk/dvla-aoc-toolkit.html" target="_blank">www.dvla.dft.gov.uk/dvla-aoc-toolkit.html</a></p><p> </p><p>Drivers should check with the car hire company they have booked with before they travel about any specific requirements, as the car hire companies themselves have a wide variety of terms and conditions about what information they require. If it is required, drivers can obtain a code which will allow them to share their driving licence details with the car hire company if they wish to do so. The code can be generated online or by telephoning the DVLA. The online service is free and available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Drivers can also print off a copy of their driving licence record.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Harrogate and Knaresborough answering member printed Andrew Jones question first answered 16/06/2015 12:31:42 answering member 3996 label Biography information for Andrew Jones
