DEAF MOTORIST
COMMENTS AT INQUEST. [BY CABLE —PRESS ASSN. —COPYRIGHT.] (Received January 5, 2.30 p.m.) LONDON, January 4. An inquest at Sutton disclosed the fact that it is unnecessary in England to slate whether one is deaf when applying for a license to drive. A deaf motorist concerned was involved in a fatal accident but had driven 150,000 miles without hitting anything. The Coroner advised the jury to decide whether it was advisable for a motorist to continue driving, but the jury returned a verdict of accidental death without comment on the question. An Automobile Association official, referring to the case said the tendency nowadays' was to drive by sight, and not by sound.
