“Cases of this sort are not infrequent at this crossing. Every few months a car is hit, but I suppose that will go on until someone is killed and then automatic gates will be erected—it seems the only way to prevent drivers who attempt to cross in front of trains.” These remarks were made by Mr Wyvern Wilson, S.M., in the Magistrate’s Court, Hamilton, when dealing with a case in which a driver was charged with failing to keep a proper lookout for approaching trains and. with attempting to cross the line while it was engaged at the Victoria street crossing, Hamilton.
