Abstract

In the Driftway

The Ministry of Transport in Great Britain has issued a new traffic regulation which provides that no person in control of any vehicle "shall permit it to be in any street within the London traffic area in such a condition that it breaks down." Apparently the problem of old cars in England is as far from solution as it is in the U.S. And the problem is becoming increasingly serious if only from the point of view. It is wished that somebody would do something about it before the countryside is entirely obscured by remains of discards in that exciting game of keeping up with the law. In one New Jersey town, it is rumored, an ordinance is under consideration, which would authorize the town fathers to seize, cars that were adjudged unfit for traffic. But again nothing is said about the final disposal of condemned cars.
