SPEEDING TAXIS
RIGHTS OF THE ROAD MAGISTRATE'S COMMENT [BY TELEGRAPH —PRESS ASSOCIATION] PALMERSTON NORTH, Monday "Taxi-drivers seem to have an idea that when they arc on the road everyone else can get off it. It is time they took a pull and reduced their speed," said Mr. J. L. Stout, S.M., in fining three taxi-drivers £4 each on charges of driving at a speed which, having regard to all the circumstances, might have been dangerous to the public. The police stated that two of the defendants drove side by side down Main Street, from Terrace End to the Square, at 35 to 40 miles an hour.
