§ 59. Mr. ANSTRUTHER-GRAYasked the Home Secretary whether he has yet received answers from chairmen of quarter sessions to his letter inviting their opinion as to extending the penalty of suspension of driving licences to cases of careless as well as dangerous driving; and what is the consensus of these opinions?
§ Sir J. GILMOURA considerable number of replies to the Home Office circular of 22nd January last are still outstanding, but those received so far indicate that there is a substantial body of opinion among Magistrates in favour of a power to disqualify a driver who is convicted of careless driving, even if there has been no previous conviction.
