Air Pilots Worst Offenders In
Cars.
INSURANCE BISKS.
(Received 2.30 p.m.) LONDON, May 15. The "Daily Express" states that the motor car insurance offices agreed that premiums must be raised. Not desiring to make good drivers pay far bad by a flat rate of increase, the office* are considering a scheme of charging extra premiums on classes of can which accident statistics show are the worst risks. The worst drivers are Air Force officers. They seem to lack discretion and sense of speed values, but they are ckflely followed by all actors, actresses and bookmakers. Good risks include doctors, naval officers, journalists, and shopkeepers. Accident figures show that women drivers are 12 per cent worse risk than tten. Lirge cars are always more carefully driven than small ones.
