WORLD'S C HEAPEST MOTORING
British Malaya seems to bo the motorist’s paradise. Owners there are the least taxed in the world, while in Britain they are the heaviest. Malayans pay only a small direct tax on their cars, and are not asked to pay for insurance, fuel tax. or even a driving license. The owner of a 12-h.p. car. for example, pays only £5 in taxation. The owner of a similar car in Great Britain, assuming he covered 12.000 miles in a year, would pay over £35 - £lO 10s, in direct taxation, over £l7 in fuel lax. 5s for a driving license, and at least £7 10s for compulsory insurance.
