DANGEROUS CORNERS

TO THB EDITOR. Sir, —Seeing that so many accidents are occurring with motor-cars in our city, and for that matter throughout New Zealand, it is a regrettable thing that a device of some description has not been brought forward to prevent accidents in the shape of a danger signal in ,motor-cars, so the driver could advise the general public which way the car is going. I am referring to intersections and crowded parts of the town. Now, Sir, you would imagine that our city fathers would put the thinking cap on, a,nd encourage our inventors to think of some idea that could bo put to practical use on cars. One really does not know which way tho car is going or coming, or whether it is coming around this way or going that way; in fact, there is too much confusion in the matter of our traffic of to-day. For the safety of the general public, it is time the authorities seriously took the matter in hand. The danger is too serious to play with. I endorse "A Driver's" suggestion to place a policeman in Courte-nay-place to regulate traffic. Trusting the authorities will at this late hour give their earnest attention to this subject, in order to avoid further loss of valuable lives and minimise accidents.— I am, etc., CAREFUL. 11th November.
