MOTORISTS AND DRINK
A DUNEDIN SUGGESTION CANCELLATION OF LICENCES [ Ter Press Association.) DUNEDIN, Nov. 24. At its meeting yesterday, the Dunedin United Temperance Reform Council adopted the following resolution to be forwarded to the Minister of Transport (the Hon. R. Semple): — "That the most effective way of protecting sober motorists and other users of the highways would be to enact a law to the effect that the driving licence of every motorist convicted of being intoxicated in charge of a car should thereby automatically be cancelled for three years (minimum) for the first offence and six years (minimum) for the second conviction. The Dunedin Temperance Council believes that the Government holds in this the most powerful weapon in dealing with the drinking motorist, but it must be made automatic upon conviction and imposed upon everyone alike.”
