A fear that motor-ear radio sets iiuelt I •.ml to Baffle accidents f opsrni. | ».v di'vers tv:- espressed by City Council’s chief traffic inspector. Mr G. R. Hogan, in a report to the’ council last evening. Mr ll'.l'i' stated that on the b-.w models of American motor-cars provision is made for the installing of a radio set, the tuning apparatus being flitted either to the steering wheel or the clash-hoard. There was an element of danger in the apparatus being attached t.o either the steering wheel or the dash-board when the vehicle was in motion, as the driver might be tuning in and not, directing his attention to road requirements. As a safeguard l>c recommended that the attention of the Minister of Transport be directed to the necessity of requiring all such installations being operated from the hack seat of the motor vehicle. From inquiries, it would appear that this would in no way increase the cost of installation and it would certainly prove a safeguard.
It was decided to forward a copy of the report to the Commissioner of Transport.
