TRAFFIC LICENCE FEES
In the Motor Vehicles Emergency Regulations gazetted this week provisions are made to'allow farmers, who in the past have been granted a reduction of 50 per cent, in heavy traffic licence fees provided their farm trucks were used only for the carriage of their own supplies, now to carry their neighbours' milk or whey to or from the dairy factory without forgoing the reduction in licence fees. The purpose of the regulation is to encourage the production of more cheese for export to Britain. Another regulation authorises the Commissioner of Transport to issue driving licences without fee to qualified members of his Majesty's Forces when their duties in the services require it. Hitherto local, bodies have been the only authorities competent to issue driving licences.
In recognition of the fact that a number of drivers are doing less motoring owing to petrol rationing another regulation provides that driving licences which expired on May 31 last may be renewed till May 31, 1941, without the applicant being required to undergo a new driving test. Previously this exemption applied only to licences applied for within three months of the old one lapsing.
