Traffic Officer A. Laing said that at 5.40 p.m. on June 15 the defendant’s motor-cycle travelled north along Fitzgerald avenue over one intersection at a speed of about 40 miles an hour. A check over two uncontrolled intersections and one T-intersection showed a speed of 42 miles an hour. Visibility was not good, traffic was heavy, and the street lighting was poor. Rodger John Farrant, aged Is. an apprentice (Mr M. J.

Michael Paul Joseph Wheeler said that at 6.20 p.m. on April 24 he pulled to the middle of the road to make a right-hand turn. While he was waiting, his car was struck in the rear by the defendant’s car. All his lights were going, and his indicator was operating. In defence, Lee said that there were no lights on Wheeler’s car, and he did not see it until it came into the range of his dipped headlights. The Magistrate said he accepted that Wheeler’s car was showing lights. Because of the large amount of witnesses’ expenses, the fine would be reduced.
