AS MANY CARS BUT SHORTER RUNS
Judging by the traffic offence notices received from inspectors the number of vehicles using the roads has' not been seriously reduced by the petrol restrictions, states a report prepared by the Transport Department for the Road Safety Council. The restrictions have, however, had the effect of limiting the "distances which motorists travel especially at weekends, and this has created difficulties through traffic congestion at pleasure resorts within, say, 25 miles of the cities. Commenting upon the few accidents resulting from Exhibition traffic the report states that very, careful arrangements were made and the extra patrols again illustrated that where there are sufficient inspectors on patrol the motorist is on his best behaviour.
