TRAFFIC BREACHES
CYCLISTS THREE ABREAST
He had spent the whole of October telling cyclists that they must not ride more than two abreast, but the offences still continued, and he had brought' these two cases as a warning, said Mr. A. J. Archer, traffic inspector, in the Petone Court yesterday, when Roy Maxwell White and Frank Silbery were each charged with travelling on the right of more than one bicycle' travelling in the same direction, The Magistrate (Mr. A. M. Goulding, S.M.), remarked that traffic officials regarded it as dangerous for. cyclists to ride more than two abreast. Three cyclists abreast took up a greaji deal of room and these regulations i must be observed. Fines of 5s and costs would be imposed in these two' cases, but the fines would be heavier if more offenders came before the Court.
Howard Weenink and Charles Hughes were each fined 10s and costs for passing another vehicle proceeding in the same direction within 30ft of an intersection.
The Magistrate stated that many motorists had the impression that they could pass another vehicle provided they did it just before entering the intersection, but this was not so.
