FAST MOTORING
LONDON, Nov. 25. A striking commentary on the removal from the police of the power to prosecute high-speed motorists unless they are able to prove carelessness or danger to the public is Mr. J. E. Scott’s achievement of a motor run from Glasgow to London in Tin's. 42min., which is 22min. faster than the time recorded by the train known as the “Flying Scotsman.” Mr. Scott, who is a motor salesman, averaged 53 miles an hour, despite a long spell of fog, and sometimes lie was doing 71 miles an hour.
