WARRANTS OF FITNESS
DILATORY MOTORISTS COURT SUGGESTS REMEDY [BY TELEGRAPH —PRESS ASSOCIATION] WELLINGTON. Tuesday Comment on the large number ot instances in which motorists brought before the Court on other charges were found to have no warrants of fitness in respect of their vehicles was. made by Mr. J. H. Luxford, S.M., in the Magistrate's Court at "Wellington today. On three separate occasions, said the magistrate, he had pointed out that fact, and it showed that the number of motorists without warrants of fitness must be very large indeed. With warrants covering a six months period and being renewed at odd times it was difficult for motorists to remem- ■.» her to renew them, he added, irobably the most effective way i)f dealing with the situation would be to insist that before a person could relieense a car he should produce a warrant of fitness issued within three months of the date of the application for the relicensing. "If warrants of fitness are causing motor vehicles to be safer on the roads —as to which there are grave doubts—this would be the only method of ensuring that there aro periodical examinations," added the magistrate.
