TESTS FOR INFIRMITY.
Following the recent suggestion that elderly applicants for "driving licences be required to pass a medical examination, it is interesting to note that doctors, the motoring organisations, and the Ministry of Transport in .England have arranged an inquiry into the need for medical tests for applicants for motor-driving licences. Dr. Alfred Cox, medical secretary of the British Medical Association, has stated that the council has decided to set up a committee to consider the question. It will consist of 12 or 15 practitioneers. Those who have been invited to serve are specialists in all form of disease that might make a person unfit to drive a car. They include, for example, experts on eye-sight and on nerves.
