DRIVERS CRITICIZED
PROVINCIAL drivers were criticized at Nottingham, last week, by the Attorney-General, Sir Reginald Manningham Buller, who said they would have to adopt new driving techniques if Britain's motorways were to become a success. Sir Reginald told East Midland members of the Traders' Road Transport Association that in some parts of the country there was "an extraordinary passion for singleline traffic." This would have to end.
"In some towns the driver in front objects very strongly if a vehicle pulls up alongside at traffic lights," he said.
