TEACHING ROAD SAFETY
MOTOR-CYCLE PATROLS (lANTERBURY EXPERIM KNT (Pi«r Prosx Association.) CIIRISTCHURCH, last night. To give advice to motor-cyclists with the object of increasing road safety, 12 patrols have been appointed by the motor-cycling clubs in Christchurch. The patrols will watch for breaches of the regulations by other motor-cyclists and point out to them in what way they have infringed the rules or caused danger to other users of the roads.
The patrols are purely for the assistance of motor-cyclists, and will not seek in any way to bring prosecutions against offenders. The appointment of these patrols followed a conference between .the Minister of Transport, the Hon. R. Semple, and representatives of the three clubs. Delegates from the clubs met last night and set up a combined motorcycle clubs' road safety committee. The committee comprises three delegates from each city club, and it is probable that the Ashburton Club will also appoint a member.
