The Hon. R. Semple, in a foreword to the road code, states: “As one looks hack over the years and studies the road accident figures, one stands aghast at the suffering and cruel and needless waste of human life. I fear that this state of affairs will continue unless, as in other walks of liie, we have a code of conduct which is recognised as being essential to the interests of human welfare. We have had no lack of restrictive laws, but what has been wanting is a true spirit of fellowship on the roads. This can only be brought about by the constant observance of a code of conduct lor all road-users. Let us create and foster this spirit of mutual consideration. The code in this booklet sets out in simple form a standard of conduct based on the widest experience on our roads and upon the principles of courtesy and consideration for one another. It is your bounden duty as a citizen to acquaint yourself with this code, and to induce others by your example to respect it. In this way and in this w«y only can you ensure safety for yourself, and members of your family.”
