BRITAIN’S TRAFFIC BILL.
SPEED LIMIT ABOLISHED. MOBILE POLICE SUGGESTED. RUGBY, March 22. The House of Commons in Committee agreed to a clause in the Road Traffic Bill to abolish the speed limit for private motor-cars and motorcycles. 'Mr Herbert Morrison, Minister of Transport, said the effect of the clause would be to make the stationary policeman out-of-date. The time had arrived when the police authorities ought to consider the organisation of a limited number of mobile police, either in motor-cars or on motorcycles. ~ They must be free to travel at a considerable speed in order to catch motorists who were driving recklessly or dangerously. It is understood that the police authorities have already begun to consider plans for carrying out the Minister's recommendation if the bill becomes law.
