Turning left on red lights
Sir, — The idea of permitting the drivers of vehicles to turn left on a red light is fraught with danger for all and must be rejected. Red lights are being ignored by a minority of drivers already without any need for the obvious encouragement that this lunatic proposal would give them. The whole tone of the campaign to legalise this dangerous manoeuvre is imbued with the frantic impatience of those addicted to the drug of speed. The infantile choruses of motoring lobbies and their magazines spare no effort to make the day-to-day existence of the nonmotorist more and more perilous, polluted and deafening. — Yours, etc DOMINIC PAUL BARON. Wellington. March 2, 1983.
