MOTOR FITNESS
HALF-YEARLY TESTS STILL IN FORCE. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, July 22. The Christchurch City Council has received a reply from the Minister of Transport, Mr O’Brien, to a protest made by the council against the reported proposal to replace the present halfyearly tests for warrants of fitness for motor vehicles with annual tests. The Minister in his reply said there was no intention at the present time of cutting down the tests to one per annum unless some means could be devised whereby cars that did little or no running would be exempted from the six-monthly tests. On July 16 the suggestion that annual warrants of fitness for motor cars were to be introduced was referred to the Commissioner of Transport, Mr G. L. Laurenson, who said that regulations providing for annual warrants of fitness for private motor cars had been approved by the Minister, and that he “expected they would be gazetted shortly." Mr Laurenson said the annual warrant of fitness would apply only to those vehicles which operated solely on the coupon ration of petrol.
