LEVEL CROSSINGS.
MOTORISTS AND ENGINEDRIVERS.
A$ the last meeting of the Cantcrbutjf 'Bfitoch of the Engineers, Fire-
men; arid"Cleaners' Association, strong exception was taken to statements * made at a recent meeting of the North Island Motoring Union, viz., "That
reports were being received from all
parts of the •country that drivers of trains were not sounding their whistles for level crossings until right on them." The Association's report states:— "Emphatic contradiction, as far as engine-drivers in Canterbury were concerned, was given the statement, as drivers are rigidly adhering to the Department's regulation in sounding the - engine whistle 300 yards from a level crossing. Owing to the apparent nonobservance of engine whistles by many motorists it was often necessary to sound the whistle again when the engine was right on the crossing. It is the general opinion of engine-drivers, derived from every-day experience, that if drivers of motor vehicles paid as much attention, observance, and vigilance to level crossings as do the enginemen and firemen, fewer motor tragedies would be reported."
