MOTOR REGULATIONS.
ONE-ARMED DRIVERS. LICENSES TO BE REFUSED. (By Telegraph —Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, Thursday. One result of the new motor regulations is that no more licenses will be issued in future by the Christchurch City Council to one-armed drivers. There are one-armed drivers in Christchurch who have held licenses for \ ears, but the City Council officers consider that the regulation prohibiting a driver from removing both hands from the wheel of a moving vehicle or taking one hand from the wheel, except when the vehicle is under full control, makes the case of the one-armed driver impossible. The matter was referred by the City Council to the Department, which upheld the Council’s decision not to grant licenses. The reply of the Department states also that in the event of the applicant having one sound arm and one artificial aim, the question would then hinge up- # cn the efficiency of the latter and would appear to be a matter for the council’s decision.
