Abstract
EVERY return of motor traffic in every country shows an ever - increasing number of cars and lorries in use, and though it was only in 1907, as we are reminded by Mr. Brunner, that Mr. Asquith referred to motor-cars as “a luxury which is apt to degenerate into a nuisance”, the petrol-driven vehicle is bringing about a change in our modes of travel comparable only to the revolution effected by the railway. Mass production places the motor-car at the service of the man of modest means, and if he cannot afford a car himself, he is a customer of the bus and charabanc owner.
