CAR RACING TROPHY
Comment On 70 m.n.li. Limit ’ (Special Crspdt. N.Z.P.A.) LONDON, January 12. The introduction of the exr perimental 70 miles an hour - speed limit on Britain's motorways was like going -I back to the days of red flag ■ motoring. M Sir Donald Stokes, one of t! Britain's leading motor chiefs, j > i says: “A limit of 70 miles an | •Ihour on the mediocre ordil;nary roads that we enjoy ini ' this country is probably not ’ i unreasonable. I “But the imposition of a J limit of anything less than r 100 miles an hour on motor- " ways, which have been con- ’ structed for the express pur- ’ pose of moving traffic quickly, seems to me to be a . retrograde step.” , He was speaking at the j presentation of a trophy for the Commonwealth's most . outstanding contribution to ,- motor racing. It went to the • Lotus racing car chief, Mr ; I Colin Chapman.
