BRITISH TRAFFIC BILL
Comes Into Operation British Official Wireless Service. RUGBY, August 1. The Road Traffic Bill, designed to reduce the appalling loss of life which is resulting in Britain, as elsewhere, front modern traffic conditions, became law to-day. Souio time will, however, elapse before its most striking features are put into operation. Tho 30-inile speed limit in built-up areas, which has caused much discussion, is unlikely to become enforceable before next year as local authorities have first to survey the thoroughfares affected. The details of the driving tests for new motorists remain to be finally settled and an organisation lias to be set up to administer these tests. A . new regulation also gives power to make regulations about the hours during which horns may not bo sounded. Ono part of the bill likely to be brought into force immediately enables a doctor or hospital to recover a foe from a motorist where emergency treatment has been given a person injured in a motor accident.
