The article discusses socio-political issues of the world. It states that in England a speed limit for motor vehicles has just been abolished by the passage of the new traffic bill. At the same time eleven of the American States have no legal speed limit and twelve more, in 1929, increased the maximum speed at which a car may be driven. In these places where there is no specified rate of speed a driver may be arrested for reckless or foolhardy driving at any speed, which means that the legal machinery in these matters is merely being adjusted realistically to what is taking place on roads every hour.
