NO TAIL LIGHT.
MOTOR CYCLIST IN TROUBLE. (Preßs Assooia-tion.J PALMERSTON N., Oct. 29. “Not guilty” pleaded a motor cyclist in the Magistrate’s Court today when charged with having no tail light on his motor cycle. “I had a red reflector, and thought it as good as a tail light,” he added. The Magistrate.: You might, but others think it rotten. A red reflector is no excuse for not having a tail light. . Defendant: I thought it was. The Magistrate: Why should it ? It seems we are going to get this excuse a lot, but I must insist on motorists having i tail lights. . These red reilectors are only an additional expense to motorists. I don’t know how I would! look upon a charge of having no red reflector, hut' so long as the tail light was going I would probably throw it out.”
