Selfish Motorists Criticised By N.Z. Motor Journal
One issue of the “New Zealand Motor World” takes a tilt editorially at selfish motorists —those who drive “as though a padded 'perch between four inflated tyres conferred special rights and made manners and courtesies unnecessary.” The article suggests that if motorists exercise consideration and unselfishness, many people who find employment because motorists are not paragons would be out of work. “There would be not so much to do,” the article continues, “for those who mend the broken bones of motorists, cyclists, pedestrians, for those who must repair damaged vehicles; for doctors, lawyers, clerics, undertakers, underwriters, traffic officers, magistrates, coroners, ambulance men, judges, police and all others who find their labours increased because some people, when using vehicles on public roads fail to show consideration and unselfishness.”
