UNLIGHTED CYCLES
More than 100 adults and 25 juveniles have been caught in Hastings in a drive by the traffic department against cyclists riding at night without lights, and they are to appear at a special sitting of the Magistrate’s Court on July 29. “We had so many complaints from motorists regarding the menace of lightless cycles on the roads at night that we had to adopt drastic measures,” declared Ihe chief traffic inspector, Mr. H. A. Green. He added that the motoring public felt strongly on the matter, judging from the complaints and comments made to traffic officers. Motorists had found themselves put to considerable expense and trouble because of the lightless cycles. Even though the motorist was blameless when a collision occurred with a lightless cvcle, he still had to undergo questioning and make a statement.
