The Road Traffic Act 1930 was Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom introduced by the then Minister of Transport Herbert Morrison following the 1929 election which resulted in a hung parliament in which the Labour party won the most seats for the first time and Ramsay MacDonald's became Prime Minister. The last major legislation on road traffic was the Motor Car Act 1903. Amendments had been discussed in 1905, 1911, 1913 1914 under the titles 'Motor Car Act (1903) Amendment bill' and 'Motor Car Act (1903) Amendment (No 2) bill' and since 1926 in which there were 4,886 fatalities in some 124,000 crashes a detailed national statistics (now known as Road Casualties Great Britain) has been collected. It was not until 1929 that a new 'ROAD TRAFFIC BILL' was discussed in detail following a Royal Commission report on Transport report 'The control of traffic on roads'.
