NEW TRAFFIC REGULATIONS
AN ANOMALY. TO BE REMOVED. CHRISTCHURCH, Monday. “The magistrate has hit on an important question, and the anomaly will be removed immediately by an amending regulation, ’ ’ said the Minister of Transport (the Hon. R. Semple), in referring®) a weakness in new traffic regulations indicated recently by Mr C. R. Orr Walker, S.M., during the hearing of a case at the Magistrate’s Court at Auckland.
According to the Magistrate, although the regulation made it incumbent on the driver to carry a warrant of fitness, it did not require him to produce the warrant on demand by a dulyconstituted authority.
“I am personally grateful to the magistrate for pointing out this weakness,” Mr Semple added. “It is only when new regulations come under an acid test in Court that weaknesses are found, and the magistrate who points these out is rendering good service to the country.”—'(P.A.)
