CARS WITH WRONG NUMBERS.
FAILURE TO NOTIFY OWNERSHIP.
The 'serious 1 complications resulting from motor-car owners failing to notify the registration authority, the Auckland City Council, of change of ownership were emphasised by»SeniOr-Sergeant McNamara in the Police Court yesterday. He said that frequently purchasers • of second-hand cars left the district, retaining for years the former markings and numerals. Meanwhile the seller purchased a new car, obtaining permission to use his old identification marks.. The result was that when an accident happened in the country and the number of the involved motor-car waj graced, it was found that the car which was entitled, to bear the particular number had never been near the scene of the mishap, or, indeed, out of its garage. At prfeenfc there were at least six such cases jn the city. Two car - owners were convicted of failure to notify change of ownership, and! were ordered to pay costs.
