Army Speed Limit.
Though Army vehicles were, for obvious reasons, excluded from the recent legislation (aimed at conserving tyres) making it a civil offence to drive vehicles at a speed exceeding 40 miles an hour, a recent instruction issued by the Quarter-master-General states that such exception applies only in the event of a national emergency. Strict observation of the maximum speed limit laid down, by the Army authorities for Army drivers of motor-cars and motor-cycles is required. The limit is the same as for civilian vehicles—-40 miles an hour on roads. .
