Harley, S.MT|aM it would be wise if the traffic department made it clear in the Press just what constituted an offence against the regulations. Many persons \? believed that so long as the headlights did not %c .0ut...-to., sea there, was ,no offence, There were portions! of the Hutt Road where it was dangerous to drive under restricted lights, such as between the supports of the. overhead bridge. It was quite clear that it would be an offence to drive south, but it was hot so clear that it was an offence to drive north.
