    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) The Ministry gazetted a Legal Notice No.173 of 2nd December, 2009 which stipulated the requirements for motor cycle riders. These include:- (i) All riders of motor cycles must wear helmets and jackets with reflectors. (ii) Motor cycle riders carry only one passenger. (iii) Motor cycle riders will provide a helmet and reflector jacket to his or her passengers. (iv) Every motor cycle shall be insured against third party risk in accordance with the Insurance Act. (v) Motor cycle riders must have a valid driving licence obtained after the proper training. (b)The Ministry has embarked on the review of sections of the Traffic Act (Cap.403) relating to training, testing and licensing of drivers. The expected outcome of the review will enable the Ministry to come up with regulations and an updated curriculum aimed at training disciplined, well behaved and courteous drivers conversant with the traffic rules and modern road systems. (c)The matter of issuance of the new generation driving licence is still under consideration by the Ministry and no issue date is fixed as yet. Mr. Speaker, Sir, all these matters, plus other issues to enhance issues of our roads will be discussed in the upcoming National Road Safety Council Stakeholder Conference to be held on 19th October 2010."
