T. R. McQuesten, Highways Minister1, Urges Drivers To Use Cai*e And Courtesy NEW LAW MAY 24 TORONTO, May — “The amend­ ment to the Motor Vehicles Act per­ mitting increased speeds of 30 and 50 miles per hour in municipalities and rural sections respectively will go into efect. on’ May 24th,” Hon, T. B. McQuesten, Ontario minister of highways, announced recently. At the same time, he issued a strong warning to motorists that the new speed rates represented “the maximum permissable speed at which motor vehicles may be operated.” Mr. McQuesten pointed out em­ phatically that the new speed limits were designed to meet the most ideal motoring conditions, and that motorists would have to slacken their pace in situations which called for (jare, courtesy, and the safety of pedestrians and other drivers, if the chance of reckless driving was to (be avoided. These speed law changes, how­ ever, were entirely dependent on “ideal conditions,” he- stressed. They could not take into considera­ tion the many and varied situations which constantly arise on the high­ way and call for extra caution and slow speed, nor did they cover any defective equipment, such as lights and brakes, on a driver’s automobile, “Ideal conditions” would not in­ clude whizzing by a country school­ house, where children might be on the highway, at 50 miles an hour Mr. McQuesten cited as one example to illustrate his point, 'and no driv­ er would be able to justify a speed of 30 miles per hour through a town on a busy market day,” ■Summing up the’ situation under which the new speed amendment would be operated, the minister urg­ ed car drivers to bear in mind con­ stantly that the revised rates were “maximums for ideal conditions," and that every motorist on streets or highways would be called upon more than ever to exercise care, courtesy and common-sense every minute he was 'behind the wheel of his automobile.
