[To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.] Sin,—Your article with the

above-written title is refreshing reading. Without fear, or favour, it expresses the real truth.

Not only must it appeal to the sane motorist, but also to the non-motorist (not necessarily anti-motorist). I am persuaded that the decrease in the number of motor licences granted is largely due to the ever-increasing danger of the road. These

increased menaces to life and limb are considerably enhanced

by the unwise suspension of the speed limit.—I am, Sir, &e., J. P. BACON PHILLIPS.
