MAGISTRATE'S COURT Fined £30 And Disqualified For Two Years

When driving up Dyers Pass road about 35 miles an hour, a youth overtook in the face of oncoming traffic and went on to the wrong side of the road when passing a car on a blind bend. Traffic Officer D. W. Simpson, of the Transport Department, told Mr E. S. J. Crutchley, S.M., in the Magistrate’s Court yesterday. Paul Richard Dunn, aged 20, a mechanic, who did not appear, was fined £3O and had his driver’s licence cancelled for two years on a charge of driving in a manner which might have been dangerous. The disqualification of his licence is to take effect on August 10. Dunn pleaded guilty by letter.

Traffic Officer Simpson said that at 5.45 p.m. on June 1, Dunn overtook a car on Dyers Pass road near McMillan avenue when a Transport Board bus was approaching from the opposite direction. He just managed to get back onto his correct side of the road before the bus drew abreast of his vehicle. Opposite Kidson terrace, Dunn’s car overtook another vehicle and went around a bend two abreast on the wrong side of the road. His speed was estimated at 35 miles an hour, Traffic Officer Simpson said. “Overtaking on a blind bend at 35 miles an hour warrants two years’ disqualification of licence,” said the Magistrate.
