"DANGEROUS PRACTICE"
DIMMING- OF HEADLIGHTS
(By Telegraph.) (Special to "The Evening Post.") CHRISTCHURCH, 6th June. Walter Murray, a young man, was charged before Mr. Mosley, S.M., at the Magistrate*9 Court to-day with having used a motor-car with dazzling lights, which affected tho vision of approaching drivers. Murray, who was fined £1, turned his spotlight full in tho face of an oncoming driver who had failed to dim.. The Magistrate said that if another car did not dim, tho only thing was for the driver suffering from the strong tights to stop. The speaker had had to do so many, times, and he would rather do so than dim bis lights as he considered such a practice too dangerous. He never dimmed at night. If the I driver dimmed, tho sudden transition from light to darkness left one blinded temporarily. It was a deadly thing for a driver to have a spotlight turned on him. ■*'
