Rejection on exhausts
,1 Vehicles were being rejected for warrants of fitness; •at the Sockburn testing !■ station where faulty exhaust; 'systems were detected, said ;i Or F. S. Blogg, chairman of the joint committee ad !ministering the station. He was commenting on an I editorial in “The Press” on, [Tuesday which said that little ‘effort had been made to apply ! regulations which gave ; warrant-issuing authorities the power from April to reject vehicles for noisy exhausts, or for systems that permitted fumes to get into a vehicle. “The Sockburn testing station staff take the new proj visions in the traffic regula- ! tions governning offences of ' this nature very seriously,” said Cr Blogg. “At times, it ! has been found necessary to , road-test vehicles with sus- ' pect exhaust systems.”
