BRITAIN ID SPEED
 ITS AUTO TRAFFIC
But New Bill Stiiens Penalties
 for Violations

London. Jan. 70 [P) - sweeping changes in England's traffic laws are provided for in the new road traffic bill introduced in the house of lords by Earl Russell on behalf of the government.
 A voluminous document of S5 pages, all aimed at safeguarding human life on the highways, tn" bin includes among its l0A clauses such innovations as:
 Abolition of the speed limit for private cars.
 Compulsory liability insurance for motorists.
 Drastic penalties for drunken ness.
 Stringent physical 0tncs5' rc- quirements.
 Strict supervision Of motorcycle joy rides.
 While it does away altogether with speed limits for light automo- piles and motorcycles, the go ern- ment bill increases significantly the penalties for careless" and dan gerous' driving.
 As to drunken driving, no acci- dent is necessary 10 bring down penalty on the incbriatc's head. If he is found drunk at the wheel of an automobile he is liable 10 four months Imprisonment and S25p fine. If he has any friends with him they, too, are liable to impris- onmcnt as accessories.
 Good eycsiGht and normal control of bodily functions are required of all applicants for drivers licenses, and the conccalment of such handl- caps as poor vision or a tendency to faint carries a heavy penalty. Under the compulsory insurance | provision of the bill the motorist would be required not only 10 take l out insurance against injury to | others. but 10 carry at all times d "ccrtificatc of insurance" issued by the company whose policy he holds
