Using traffic indicators
Sir,—l. J. McKinnon (October 11) criticises Christchurch motorists for not using their direction indicators. Mr McKinnon’s letter could bring him into collision with two organisations representing local drivers, viz:— DENT (Don’t Ever Need Trafficators) and CRUNCA (Campaign for the Removal of Unnecessary Complications and Hassles). DENT campaigns for the removal of unwanted appendages such as trafficators and rear mirrors from cars destined for the New Zealand market. Less extreme than DENT (in pressing for the. removal of left-side trafficators only), CRUNCH seeks to mould public opinion, e.g. to the view that drivers backing into small parking places are, by definition, reactionary and therefore antisocial. Central to CRUNCH’S operation is the belief that as the average motorist has only two feet, the three pedal system on most cars is ostentatious and confusing.—Yours, etc.,
W. R. ALLARDYCE. October 11, 1982.
