"it is a dangerous practice for motorists to fly past a tram just as people are stepping on to the road to board the tram.” said Mr J. Morling. S.M.,' in the Auckland Police Court recently. The way the regulations were worded, he added, a tram had to be stopped before pedestrians could step off the footpath, but pedestrians had to do something to indicate that they wanted to get on a train at a non-compulsory stop. Mr Morlmg said he had experienced difficulty in catching a tram through having to wait for a motorist to pass. Subinspector Pender said he had missed a few trams through the same cause. It seemed as if the regulation should be worded differently.
