DRIVING IN BLACKOUT
Sir,—lf Mr. Matthews, secretary of the Auckland Drivers' I'liion, is correct in his statement that bus drivers are 'considering the abolition of night driving hecan.se of the strain on their no7'ves caused through driving in the blackout, it reflects very little credit on the drivers concerned. It, order to calm their I roubled nerves they are evidently willing to see people who are depended I on Ihe bus services completely stranded after nightfall. Driving in a partial blackout such as exists °in New Zealand cannot be as difficult as driving in a complete blackout such as obtains in Knglatid. Rus drivers in Kngland. however, seem able to control their nerves and drive under any conditions. Perhaps the frightful air-raids they have experienced have made them ''tough," or perhaps they were even born so. Hoofit.
