“You have a pretty live body in your Automobile Association, but it is a pity that something cannot be done by the Association to enforce the dimming of lights on country roads. A few nights ago when just outside Hawera a car, well lighted, and flashing a ‘spot’ light, just about blinded me for what seemed an interminable time, with the result that I had no earthly chance of gauging the distance from the oncoming vehicle. When the other car had all but touched my ‘bumper’ I swerved quickly, and found, some little time later, that we had narrowly averted a serious accident. With people of this kind on your roads, night travelling for visiting motorists is a precarious business indeed, in the Wanganui and Taranaki districts.” So observed a Wellington motorist to a Wanganui Chronicle reporter.
