§ Mr. Sorensenasked the Minister of Transport whether he is aware that motorcars are being offered for sale which are capable of a speed of over 100 miles per hour, and that on a recent run to Cambridge a speed of 109 miles per hour was reached by one such motor-car; and, in view of the road danger of this speed, what action he proposes to take to prevent such speeds?
§ Mr. BurginCertain types of car are capable of speeds which can rarely be attained on the highway under normal conditions. I have no evidence to show that such vehicles are specially liable to accident. I am precluded by Section 10 413W of the Road Traffic Act, 1930, from imposing any special limit of speed upon these cars.
