MOTOR CAR LEGISLATION
On Tuesday, in the House of Lords, a Bill amending the law relating to motor vehicle traffic on the highways was read a first time. It provides for the registration of cars, identification of vehicles, licensing of professional drivers, the variation of the maximum speed limits by the Local Government Board on the application of the local authorities, and the increase of penalties for violations, with the possibility of imprisonment.
