CURE FOR “ROAD HOGS”
SUGGESTION IN SYDNEY LIMIT TO MOTOR SPEEDS. A writer in one of the .Sydney newspapers suggests a simple method of 'haling effectively with what are termed “road hogs.’’ I The remedy, he says, lies not in the • punishment of motorists who have • little or no respect for other people’s I lives, but with the manufacturers of : motor-cars. Cars, it is suggested, should ‘ be geared in such a way that it would . be impossible for drivers to annihilate I space and also life itself. i The contention is that, even in these , days of hurry and bustle, there is no ! reason for speed beyond, say, 35 miles , an hour, and that, beyond that speed, few men have effective control over their cars. As the matter, however, is one peculiarly for the legislatures of other countries, the suggestion that a law should be enacted, forcing manui farturers to cut down the speed of all i motor-cars, is likely to fall on deaf ears.
