The definition of " special circumstances" in which motor drivers convicted of offences under the Road Traffic Act can escape endorsement or suspension of their licences was discussed by Mr. Justice Goddard, in addressing York city magistrates at the opening of York Assizes, on Monday. In many courts, said his Lordship, was heard the plea not to endorse, because of some hardship to the in dividual. If Parliament had meant that because a man was a professional driver his licence should not be endorsed, surely it wrwld have been an
easy thing to say so. " It seems to me," he said, " that special circumstances must be circumstances which are special to the case and not to the offender."
