TRAFFIC REGULATIONS

Charges For Breaches

Various charges for breaches of traffic regulations were brought against the following defendants at the Napier Police Court this morning. Mr J. GL. Hewitt, S.M., was on the bench. William Henry Simpson was fined £2 and 16/- costs for negligently driving a motor lorry on the Napier-Wairoa road. Through his counsel (Mr S. 11. Morrison), he pleaded guilty to driving round a corner on the wrong side of the road and causing damage to a lorry coming from the opposite direction. J. R. Nieper, a native, was fined £1 and costs 19/- for driving along Emerson street and failing to give way to another car, and a similar amount for driving in a manner that might have been dangerous.

Thomas Bush was fined £1 and 19/0 costs for driving a car along the Te Politic-Bay View road in a dangerous manner. Evidence was submitted by Senior-sergeant W. Pender that the defendant collided with two cars which had already met with a slight accident on the road. As the result of the second collision one of those ears was damaged. When Constable Walden examined Bush's ear, he found the brakes defective.
