“ANY FOOL CAN GET ONE”
DRIVERS’ LICENSES IN HAWKES BAY NO EXAMINATIONS HELD BY Telegraph —Press association. Napier, November 16. Several somewhat scathing remarks about the issuing of motor-drivers’ licenses were passed at yesterday’s meeting, of the Hawke’s Bay County Council. “Is it a fact,” asked Councillor J. S. Orr, “that rye give a license to drive a car to any fool that comes along?” 'J'he chairman (Mr. 11. M. Campbell) : That is so. But others get one as well. Councillor Orr: What on earth is the good of giving a license to all at that rate? . Dlr. Campbell: It is no good unless the driver gets into some trouble. Except for some special reason there is no power to refuse a license. Councillor T. M. Chambers: I was under the impression that applicants were supposed to pass an examination. The chairman:' The practice was started in one place, then stopped. It is quite hopeless unless the examination applies to all. Councillor Orr: As things are now, then-anyone can get a license? ■ The chairman: That is so. The bigger the fool -the-biggcr the license.
