WIRELESS IN CARS
MAY CAUSE ACCIDENTS REMARKS BY JUDGE MELBOURNE, Feb. 2. “Perhaps I should not. express mv opinion too severely on wireless in motor ears, but I think that drivers might lie inclined to concentrate their attention more on the wire lose than on the public," said .lodge Was ley, in the County Court to-day. “I do not say that that happened in this; ease, but it is an inference that could be drawn." The case was one in which Wallace Edward Curtis, of Armadale, sued Leo Patkin, of Caulfield, for £OO damages as the result of a collision between two motor cars, one driven by Curtis and the other by Patkin. Evidence was given that a wireless was playing in Patkin \s car before the collision, and that it was still playing after the accident. •fudge Wasley entered judgment for Curtis for £75.
