MOTOR ACCIDENTS
The frequency of motor accidents was mentioned in the House of Representatives by Dr. H. T. J. Thacker (Christchurch East) on Tuesday. He drew the attention of the Minister of Internal Affairs to the comments of Judges of the Supreme Court and Magistrates, and asked whether legislation would be introduced providing that a motor driver convicted two or three times should lose his license. The Hon. W. Downie Stewart replied that if the Motor Bill, which he had introduced last session, could he made acceptable to those interested, it would cover the point raised by the member. Differences of opinion had arisen about the revenue to be raised, and he had not yet been able to adjust them. Dr. Thacker: “What you want to do is to restrict the motor hog going about just now.” Mr Stewart admitted the need for restriction, hut added that he wished to put his Bill through as a whole.
