GOVERNMENT CARS
PUBLIC SERVANTS’ COMPLAINTS 4*
NOT FIT TO USE ON ROADS
Representations to the Public Service Commissioner about the safety of Government motor-cars are reported in the Public Service Journal. The executive council of the Public Service Association,, when interviewing the commissioner, said that in some cases officers were asked to drive cars for which a warrant of fitness would not be issued if the cars were privately owned, thus creating a grave danger. Several cases had been quoted where no warrant was in existence.
The complaints applied to both departmental and Post Telegraph cars, - and came from Rotorua, New Plymouth, Kaikoura, Tokanui and Invercargill. The commissioner informed the council that, so far as he knew, Government cars should have warrants of fitness, as in the case of private cars. The council decided to supply information on specific cases.
