NEGLIGENT DRIVING
COURT FINES MOTORISTS "Defendant's car went on to the lootpath, veered off and struck another car, and finally crossed the road and hit a tram," said Senior-Sergeant Joyce in the Police Court yesterday, when William Glover admitted a charge of negligent driving. "I don't remember anything," said defendant, when asked by Mr. F. K. Hunt, S.M., what he had been doing. Mr. Joyce said defendant was admitted to hospital with concussion after the accident.
"I have grave doubts whether you should be allowed on the road at all," said the magistrate. "Dou'i come up again, or I may have to take your licence away." Defendant was lined £l. "Some drivers of rental cars are very bad; they will have to learn better," said the magistrate, when William Palmer pleaded guilty to negligently driving a motor-car on the Great Sou til Road. A line of £l, with £1 17s <ld costs, was imposed.
