Dollies Disliked
“Dangling dollies” in car windows and stickers which motorists placed on windscreens and back windows were sharply criticised by the Christchurch Metropolitan Road Safety Committee. He “loathed and detested” the dolls that some motorists hung against their windscreens, said Mr J. R. Mating, and it was obvious that such things must distract the driver and obscure vision
at least partially. Some driven seemed to get virtually hypnotised by the dolls. Such dolls in a car indicated the driver’s sloppy approach to driving. The chairman (Mr N. H. Browne) agreed with Mr Maling. Nothing looked more juvenile and delinquent, he said. He also criticised the “pram fringes” some drivers hung around their windscreens.
