MOTOR SPEEDS ABROAD
EXCUSE FOR FAST DRIVING SALESMAN'S LICENCE ENDORSED "No decent motorist would think New Zealand roads are open for speeds up to 63 miles an hour," said Mr. F. H. Levien, S.M., in the Papakura Magistrate's Court yesterday, when it was mentioned that an excuse given by Boy McDonald, salesman, of Remuera, for driving his car on the Great South Road at over 60 miles an hour was that he had only just returned from abroad, where he had become used to speeds that were higher apparently than those permitted in New Zealand. McDonald was fined £5 and costs, 10s, ; and his diving licence was endorsed, j The same monetary penalty was im- ' posed on Pearl Moore, for driving at ! speeds np to 59 miles an hour.
