TRAFFIC SAFETY
Suggestions invited
Council members of the Automobile Association (Canterbury) Inc., were invited last evening to make suggestions to improve road traffic. Any suggestions would be considered in detail by the motoring and traffic committee, before the presentation of a special report to council.
The general manager of the A.A.C. (Mr E. S. Palliser) said that in view of the interest in the matter he thought that it might be an appropriate time for the Canterbury member on the New Zealand association council (Mr T. D. Craig) to revive the association’s advocation of a stiffening of the driver’s licence test and also its earlier suggestion that the traffic regulations be amended to require drivers to signal all turns at all times. He said that the association’s driver-education courses were now well beyond the pilot stage and it might be appropriate for the national body to emphasise their value and contribution to road safety, in an endeavour to have them more widely adopted.
