MOTOR NOTES
In a suburb of a northern English town large boards are displayed asking motorists not to hoot unnecessarily. “Consider the sick. Silence is golden,” they say. In Berlin just now they are not trusting to appeals. Mot.or-cyclists whose engines are noisy are stopped by the police and their bicycles taken away from them to have silencers fitted—of course, at the owner’s expense. And if they do not use their silencers they are fined.
Given the same attention as motor traffic control, the problem of the liquor traffic control would soon be solved.
In the towns of Hungary, school children are to be taught how to walk and how to avoid being run over. Of course, the motor traffic there is nothing like what it is in England, not even in Budapest. Yet there arc a lot of accidents, and the authorities have got scared. The authorities say it is necessary to give such instruction as they contemplate as much in the interests of motorists as of those who go on foot. And it will be given during the time allotted for gymnastics.
