TRAFFIC INSPECTORS’ METHODS.

TO TBJS UDITOtt. I wish to compliment yon on your “ local ” nows regarding over-anxious traffic inspectors. It is simply robbing motorists for little errors, making them waste tifne at the Town Hall, and court proceedings for small errors of judgment when a polite warning would have the same, if not better, effect. Would it not bo wise to lot our inspectors have a trip to Auckland and Wellington to lea rn a little consideration? 1 have been several times to these cities during this year, and I must say that for punishing motorists for little errors, such ns parking, etc., and even after satisfactory explanation, Dunedin takes easily first place. Why is a difference made for different people? Two motorists parked in the same place one even ing at the same time. Both received notices- to call at the Town Hall, which they did. One was pulled before the court, the other did not bear anything about the matter. Cannot Dunedin inspectors give warning to a motorist if ho is parked in the wrong place, and if ho parks a second time in the same place by all means lino him? It seems to mo it will bo u good day when the police take ver as far as Dunedin is concerned, as I am sure we .shall get a little better consideration for small errors of forgetfulness,—l am, etc., Motohist.
