"WON'T STAND IT"
SYNTHETIC RUBBER TYRES NEW ANGLE ON SPEEDING "My department wishes to stress that the new synthetic roubber tyres: are not standing up to the wear and tear and speeding by heavy vehicles wears them out very qiuckty, thus accentuating the present shortage," stated Traffic Officer Sharpe during the. hearing of a prosecution in the Te Aroha Magisi trate's Court recently of John McKenzie,. who was charged with exceeding the 25 miles an hour limit with a heavy truck. "I don't know "out what companies should not also be charged in these cases." said the Magistrate (Mr W. H. Freeman, S.M.). "The drivers are often only partly to blame. They are, told to finish a job in a given time and have to tear along the road to get it done. They run the risk of being prosecuted on the one hand and not being considered suitable employees on the other. After evidence had been given that the truck was travelling at 38 miles an hour when the limit was 1 25, a fine of £5 with 10s costs was imposed.
