A scheme for avoiding Police Court procedure in the case of trivial motoring offences was rejected by the council of the Auckland Automobile Association this week. The proposal had been forwarded for comment by the Auckland Chamber of Commerce, it having been suggested that traffic inspectors and police officers might be empowered to issue penalty tickets on the spot to drivers who elected to plead guilty. This would permit the voluntary paying of fines at an appointed office. The council of the Automobile Association decided that no action was warranted in view of the fact that members could avoid any waste of time by taking advantage of the free legal representation provided by the association.
