LABOUR leader in Europe, Gary Titley, has accused his Tory counterparts of dicing with death by voting against new EU road safety rules.
The Radcliffe-based MEP said: "Ask people on a coach holiday if they want to get home on time, then I'm certain they would say yes. But ask them if they wanted the driver to be tired at the wheel, unable to concentrate on the road and a potential danger to himself, passengers and other road users because of no proper break, then the answer would be a resounding no."
