RIGHT OF THE ROAD
MOTORISTS NOT PRIVILEGED. (Bv Telegraph.—-Press Association.) CPIRISTCHURCH, Monday. “Motorists have no royal right of the road at all.” said Mr E. D. Mosley, S.M., in the Magistrate’s Court to-day, in delivering his judgment in a dangerous driving case. “There is too much of that feeling among motorists' in Christchurch,” the magistrate added. “Pedestrians have the same right to the road as have motorists, especially at recognised intersections. We would all wish that pedestrian traffic were controlled like motor traffic.” The magistrate’s remarks followed on the hearing of a case in which William Alexander Welsh was charged with driving a motor car over the Bank of New Zealand intersection in a manner dangerous to the public. He was fined £1 and costs.
