NEGLIGENT DRIVING
ATTITUDE OF MOTORIST COMMENT BY MAGISTRATE [BY TELEGRAPH —PRF.SS ASSOCIATION"] NAPIER, Monday " I cannot stress too strongiv the motorist's attitude toward the injured man," said the magistrate in the Napier Magistrate's Court to-day, when fining Frank Macovini £2 for negligent driving. The charge was a sequel to an accident after a dance at Taradale when a Maori was knocked down and had one leg injured. In evidence it was alleged that defendant said, when requested to take the injured man to hospital, "Let his own drunken friends take him."
The magistrate said defendant's first duty was to the man. The evidence of negligence had been overwhelmingly proved.
