Miller, S.M., as a novel defence was offered in the Magistrate's Court, Hastings,: by a Maori, who brought laughter into the serenity of the Court proceedings when endeavouring to explain away a charge of driving in a dangerous manner, "If she gets up to 30 or 40 miles an hour my bus is just like a traction engine," he said. "Your Honour, she is not too flash, and I think it might have been the noise that made my friend the traffic inspector take action."
