MOTOR LICENSES
DEAF PERSON GRANTED ONE.
THE ENGLISH REGULATIONS.
(United Press Assn.—Telegraph Copyright.)
London, January 4
An inquest at Sutton disclosed the fact that it is unnecessary in England to state whether a person is deaf when applying for a license to drive. A deaf motorist concerned was involved in a fatal accident, but had driven 150,000 miles without hitting anything. The coroner advised the jury to decide whether it was advisable for the motorist to continue driving, but the jury returned a verdict of accidental death without comment on the question. An official of the Automobile Association, referring to the case, said the tendency nowadays was to drive by sight, not sound.
