NEGLIGENT DRIVING
Accident on Hutt Road DRIVER’S LICENCE CANCELLED (By Telegraph—Pre«e Association.) WELLINGTON, Sept. 3. "I look on this as a gross piece of negligent driving," said Mi’ J. H. Luxford, S.M., when Erie Rutledge-appear-ed on a charge of negligent driving. ‘‘The Hutt road," he said, "should be the safest road in the Dominion by reason of its construction and lack of side roads leading into it, yet it has the highest accident toll of any live-mill stretch in the country."
The accident resulted when the defendant pulled out of a line of traffic and later collided with a bus. He was fined £1 aud costs, his licence cancelled and he was prohibited from obtaining another for six months.
