A. A. QUESTION- NAIRE.

Motor Legislation.

their

The Automobiló Association has issued a Questionnairo to British

asking for motorists. views on certain matters concern- ing the use and ownership of mo- ior cars and inotor-cycles.

In the opinion of the Associa. tion, legislation to remedy the defects of the existing law is long overdue, and having regard to the importance of the questions at issue, it is considered desirable in this way to obtain the individual opinions of motorists throughout the country.

Among the questions upon which motorists' views are being

solicited are:-

(a) Tho re-introduction of the

Petrol Tax.

(b) The abolition of Speed

Limits.

(c) The need for legislation to

deal with "Joy Riding."

(d) The amendment of the Law to production of driving liconcas.

to) The responsibilities of em- ployers for licences hold by paid drivers.

(f) The postponement of the oporation of the suspension of driving licences where an appeal has been lodged. Anothor feature of the Ques- tionnairo is that every motorist is asked to give particulars of his car or motor-cycle with approxi- mate mileage for the year onded September 30, 1926, together with his average fuel consumption in miles per gallon of motor spirit.

The roplies received will be collated by a special staff and the results will, of course, be con- siderod in connection with the action to be taken by the Associa- tion in relation to the revision of the existing law.

STATE MAY RULE BUSES.

ני

A bill has been introduced in both houses of the Tennessee the legislature providing for establishment of a special com- mission to regulate state-wide operation of motor buses and tak. ing the power from municipalities.
