NEGLIGENT DRIVING
LICENSE CANCELLED By Telegraph—Press Association WELLINGTON, September 3 “I look on this as a gross piece of negligent driving,” said Mr J. H. Luxford, S.M., when Eric Rutledge appeared before him on a charge of negligent driving. “The Hutt Road should be the safest road in the Dominion by reason of its construction and lack of side roads leading into it, yet it has the highest accident toll of any five mile stretch in the country.” The accident resulted when defendant pulled out of the line of traffic, and later collided with a bus. He was fined £1 and costs, his license was cancelled, and he was prohibited from obtaining another for six months.
