History

Historical Context

The 1967 Road Traffic Regulation Act was an earlier road-traffic law, but most of its provisions were replaced by the 1984 Road Traffic Regulation Act, which contains 147 sections and grants the Department for Transport broad authority to regulate traffic and enforce penalties. Gabrielle Carrington’s recent drink-driving conviction illustrates how the 1967 legacy endures within today’s expanded legal framework.
