BUS-DRIVER'S OFFENCE
"Only in cases which are very exceptional, such as where the other car is travelling at 60 m.p.h., can there be a good defence against the righthand rule. Beyond those very exceptional cases 'the right-hand rule' is absolute," said Mr. W. C. Harley, S.M., at Lower Hutt yesterday, when convicting a bus driver, Arthur William Kilmister, for driving a car over an intersection when another car was approaching on his right. As there was a possibility of the defendant having to meet other expenses a fine of only £1 was inflicted.
