CORRESPONDENCE.

(To tho Editor of the Herald.) Sir,—l read in your Wednesday issue that the Auto. Association arc moving' to have the Motii-Qpotiki road declared a one-way road. .It is a pity that tho Association cannot remember 'that the highways arc for flic use of ajl and sundry, and that farmers living on tho road*h«,vc a right to use the Toad for the purposes of shifting stock up or down, at any lime of (he day. This road in question is used daily by service cars plying both ways and also by (ravelling stock. The service drivers, being capable men, never have any difficulty in passing' each other end get through the stock, with a minimum of difficulty. There is great camaraderie between the service drivers and the drovers. The lormer'irequontjiy bring bread and.suchlike through for the drovefs, and flic drovers in return help the drivers wherever possible. If the members of Hie Auto. Association were to practise (lie same courtesy ami j cultivate the .same skill in driving as ; the service men there would be no .need for tiny alteration to tho existing regulations. One lias only to use a road like thifi fairly frequently to discover what a number of mannerless .•did inept person:; lliero are sifting at f'je steering wheels. hot Hie Aulo, Association pnl their own liotj.se in order first and see'thai h'jc rules governing Hie traffic in the cilfcs where they belong are pul in uniform anil sensible order-before they interfere with llie country rOflds and country residents. Anyway those of; [!:• who use .this road or live on it are quite content, lo continue- as we are. Those who waul it made fl one-way foiitc an- either unskilled and "windy" drivers who should not be on the'road af all. or speed hogs thai wish to mit their travelling time down, and boas! about if afterwards.—Yours,
