[To the Editor of THE SPECTATOR.]
Sia,—I most emphatically stand by my statement that motorists must "drive within the limits of the lights they employ," and it is nothing but a callous disregard of the elementary rights of others that make motorists like Mr. Ede suggest that a motor-car should be driven into the void which the driver's eyes or the driving lights cannot penetrate.
Study of the principles of elementary physics is a poor exchange for the study of common sense and the law. If a motor-car's lights must constantly be dipped, then the motor-ear's speed must constantly be reduced when "cycle speed" must be the limit of night driving—at any rate, until the Ministry of Transport provide one of the best solutions— white road 'surfaces.—I am, Sir, &c., H.
