Reducing Road Toll
• Some extraordinary suggestions to • j reduce road accidents have been ad- : : vanced by a member of the British ■ | Government. He favours all heavy j : traffic being taken off the roads and j • put back. ° n the railways. No road | j vehicle, he claims, should be cap- j ■ able of travelling at more than 25 j [ miles an hour. All licences should j • depend on a guarantee of abstention • | from alcohol. All motoring offences I • should be tried by non-motoring | ■ magistrates. Every motor-car, he adds, : : should be fitted with wheel guards j j to ensure that a person knocked down \ : wid not afterwards be run over. ■
